Hi,

I would like to develop some cross symbols signals. For example: if the price of the ESZ9 is above the 30-day MA, go short the 6BZ9.

However, I don't know where to start and I probably have the keywords wrong.

If you could help me find what I'm looking for that would be great!

Thanks in advance,
Best regards.

Thanks Ted!

I actually found this: Referencing Other Time Frames and Symbols When Using the ACSIL

I managed to import the price and a study, but I can't figure out how to calculate the EMA based on the price instead of having to import the the study.

Do you see what I'm doing wrong here?


SCGraphData BaseGraphData;
  sc.GetChartBaseData(2, BaseGraphData);
  SCFloatArrayRef Chart6EPrice = BaseGraphData[SC_LAST];
  int RefChartIndex = sc.GetExactMatchForSCDateTime(2, sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index]);
  float ExactChart6EPrice = Chart6EPrice[RefChartIndex];
  
  SCGraphData StudyData;
  sc.GetStudyArraysFromChartUsingID(2, 1, StudyData);
  SCFloatArrayRef ImportedEMA6E = StudyData[0];
  int RefChartIndex2 = sc.GetNearestMatchForDateTimeIndex(2, sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index]);
  float ExactImportedEMA6E = ImportedEMA6E[RefChartIndex2];
  
//Problem here -- the calculated EMA is not right.
  sc.ExponentialMovAvg(Chart6EPrice, EMA6ESubgraph, 60);
  float CalculatedEMA6E = EMA6ESubgraph[sc.Index];

im no remember exactly , but i think is not possible to calculate with Data from Other Chart in local Function, i got simlery Problem , then if u get not PriceUpdate(autoLoop) on other Chart (Null (DrawZeros)) then function result is wrong or skipped. I do it in Other Chart a Study and pull StudyValue from other chart direct.

do not forget make local study right sc.ValueFormat and
    sc.CalculationPrecedence = VERY_LOW_PREC_LEVEL;

You do have the ability to add an additional symbol to the same chart:
Add Additional Symbol

And you can base studies on that symbol and then access the study data:

Awesome! Thanks, I'll try that.

I don't know how to use a study from the chart in ACSIL yet but that seems easier that way so I'll give it a try.

Thanks!

Quick question:

I'm trying to work with the Add Additional Symbol study but I'm only getting 2 months of data.

However, I loaded a chart with the "Additional Symbol" for the main chart and loaded 5 years of data so I don't understand why it's not loading on the main chart.

I went to Edit > Reload and Recalculate but it doesn't change the data.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Ok these are futures contracts so the Add Additional Symbol study does not support Continuous Futures Contracts.

Okay, I figured.

I'm using the "referencing another chart" way so in the end it works :)

Thanks for your help.

Best,
Matt
