Look under "P data array identifier" in the index for the P variable (can also be used as
INDICATOR). Not sure what headings the Security() function comes under if you have a version that
supports it.
One thing to look out for with the P data array identifier is that when used on a chart (chart is
marked and called as P) the only price returned will be CLOSE. The Security function gives the
ability to specify a data array, and that can include any indicator for that security as well, but
the P variable does not give the same choices. However it is OK to mark any indicator (including OHL
prices) applied to the target chart and use that as the P variable instead of the target chart
CLOSE. I do this regularly using filters applied to indices (index chart open and filter indicator
marked).
