Change chart instrument using code

[IanC28]

Hi,

I have an indicator that saves chart data to MySql.

Is there a way to change the instrument displayed on a chart using code?

Is there a better way to gather OHLC data for various instruments than cycling through charts?

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Ian

Hello Ian,

Thanks for your post.

There is not a supported way to change the instrument on a chart programmatically, but you could consider invoking the Overlay Instrument Selector and using SendKeys to enter the new instrument. My colleague Chelsea does this in his Rollover Indications indicator.

Another option would be to programmatically add data series to a script with AddDataSeries (data series should be hardcoded.)

Thanks Jim, Chelsea's code worked fine.
