PRT Function to Detect Instrument Name/Code

  I  am  building an indicator which there are slightly different requirements for each stock index (i.e.  ASX, DAX, NQ, etc.). Within ProRealTime, is there the ability in the coding to be able to confirm the instrument that is loaded on  the chart?

  For example

  if ASX is loaded, then ‘do this’

  or

  if DAX is loaded, then ‘do that’

  I know in TradingView this can be done, just not sure on ProRealTime.

  It’s not possible, as of the current version.

  We all hope this feature will be supported in a next version.

  Actually you could do this manually, by adding a variable to be set from the indicator’s properties, say ranging from 0 to 5 (or any greater value of your choice):

  MyAsset = 0 //0=Dax, 1=Asx, 2=EurGbp,… If MyAsset = 0 then . Elsif MyAsset = 1 then . Elsif MyAsset = 2 then . Elsif MyAsset = 3 then . . . Endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

  MyAsset = 0  //0=Dax, 1=Asx, 2=EurGbp,… If MyAsset = 0 then . Elsif MyAsset = 1 then . Elsif MyAsset = 2 then . Elsif MyAsset = 3 then . . . Endif

  when you add it to a chart you can simply change that value from the properties.

  You will have to keep a paper list of  the chosen assets and their codes next to your PC.
