[EquisMetaStock Group] Re: Current security symbol within indicator?

["Jose Silva" <josesilva22@xxxxxxxxx>]

Johnathan, this is only possible through the use of an external function, 
such as with the Filter.dll used in the URSC tool-kit.
http://www.metastocktools.com/URSC/URSC.htm

In the URSC code example below, you would place your list of symbols in 
one or more text files, and the filter function would look for a match 
between the current chart's symbol and your text file.  If found it would 
flag a True(+1) condition, else False(0).


==============
list1.txt file
==============
---8<---------
DJI
etc...
---8<---------


=========
Indicator
=========
---8<--------------
match:=ExtFml("Filter.Symbol","C:\URSC\list1.txt");
x:=if(match,C,V);
x
---8<--------------
