1. Let's say my strategy involves checking the VIX volatility index, so in effect this dataseries serves as an indicator. Both the primary dataseries and VIX are daily data. What is the preferred way to:
(i) incorporate this data into my strategy? I.e., how do I call it?
(ii) plot this data - can I plot it as an indicator?
(iii) the primary dataseries will go back further than VIX data - does this pose a technical problem or will it simply be the case that the VIX plot will have no data for dates earlier than those for which VIX data is available?
2. I have a custom dataseries (daily data - 1 data point per trading day) in a spreadsheet that I'd like to import into an indicator.
(i) How can I do this?
(ii) And I'd need to manually update every day - I suppose by updating the spreadsheet and running the import process, unless there is an easy way to append the dataseries directly in NT itself?
