Hello forum, I have a multi symbol strategy where data1 is an equity and data2 is an index. I am using tic data for both, where 1 bar is 1 tic. How do I set my indicator / signal to only run on updates to data2 only? Thanks, Brian

This is exactly what I am trying to do with ETF's and their IIV. I will read more. Thanks for the link. Brian

Well I have been using multicharts to test this, and I am trying to get a dll called GlobalVariable installed now - which should in theory allow me to have one chart where my strategy is executed, and then by setting a global variable, have the second chart trade off this variable. I will...

Thanks for the reply - I figure out how to map data1 in the strategy to data1 on the symbol - under symbol properties you can specify this. And your right you can only trade the first symbol. I want to trade two symbols on an event though thats why im trying to figure out global variables -...

So from what I am reading you cant place an order on the stock in data2, but you can use global variables to accomplish this with two charts. So I guess my question is: What is the syntax for defining a global variable - can't find it. How do I make sure data1 = symbol1, data2 = symbol2...

In this example: Condition1 = Close of Data1 > Close[1] of Data1 ; Condition2 = Low of Data2 < Low[1] of Data2 and Close of Data2 > Close[1] of Data2 ; if Condition1 and Condition2 then Buy next bar at market ; If Data2 is an equity as well, how do I specify the order to be placed on...

Ok - Thanks for the responses - I downloaded multicharts and easylanguage seems pretty easy. Added multiple symbols to the same chart just trying to figure out how to reference data1 and data2 - as long as it can be done. Thanks again! Brian

Members, Most software packages I have tried allow you to trade based on logic designed for one symbol. Are there software packages that allow you to consider market events from other symbols? Say for example, I want to trade IBM, but I want to take into consideration the moving average...
