Gents,

Just wondering if its possible to used a strategy/chartscript to examine price series data for two different symbols at the same time? I would like to call in an the data for another instrument and compare signals - currently do this manually.

Can some one point me in the right direction?

Cheers

Yes, there are - quite a bit.

1. Start by exploring the WealthScript Guide, DataSeries > Accessing Secondary Symbols.
2. Look up GetExternalSymbol (and SetContext/RestoreContext) in the QuickRef.
3. Search the forum and the Wiki for those methods.
4. Finally, search the code of downloaded Strategies from the "Open Strategy" dialog.

Thanks very much Eugene.

I'm getting way too many alerts. Trying to find a way to narrow it down and rank them. My coding skills have regressed - can't even make sense of what I developed previously, let alone what I'm trying to develop.....baby steps....

I have a related question.

I have been getting an intermitent error for "Object reference not set to an instance of an object error." with a strategy that imports data from an external symbol. It appears that the only way to avoid this error is to make sure the external symbol is in a WL dataset & the dataset is up to date. Is that accurate?. It would be nice if WL could use the on demand feature to go get this data.

Also is there a list of WL error messages and what they mean.

Thanks

Let's not make far-reaching conclusions and preliminary suggestions on Wealth-Lab enhancement before you examine this hint:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Hope that helps. If you think it doesn't, let's see your code (user code is the primary source of errors)?
