Access other symbols/data on the fly.

[ttodua]

Dear NT gurus, I think there is one thing, in which other platforms supercede NT. That is accessing other dataseries on the fly, for example:

in TOS,TradingView, metaTrader, TradeStation.... all other platforms have inline/on-the-fly function to access other data simply, like:

 Close(period="2hr")

In NinjaTrader, we have exclicitly to add whole DataSerie in StateChange ( and then Access that within BarsInProgress, or doesnt matter). However, that is fundamental difference. When we add DataSerie in StateChange, it affect many things in the background on NT, even though if we nowhere use that dataseries ever in our script. And in specific cases, that causes conflict with indicator/strategy functionality and logic, as OnBarUpdate and etc, are triggering on multiple dataseries and shortly, IT IS NOT REALLY THE WAY we would like in many cases.

I have a hope, that our Golden NT should definitely have something (at least, compared to other platforms) which gives us an ability to do like it's so easy in other platforms...

please, create/develop some shorthand functions to access the other dataserie/symbol, without need to declare them in Statechange and impact the whole script.

like, in the code we want only once to get XYZ data, like:

if (Day=365 and Time=0) {
    var myPrice =   GetPrice("EURUSD",  periodType.Minute, 1) ;
}
