I have a list of 20 stocks on my RadarScreen which is sorted under 3 label rows.
I want to check the net % change from open and relative volume on them, and use them in a strategy to decide if a condition is true or false (such that I can take a trade).
Is there anyway to reference these symbols from the RadarScreen, such that I can do some calculation on them? Also is it possible to chose which label row I them from?
if this is not possible, is there a way to use the values from these 20 stocks in the code another way? Only way I see for now is to have 20 data sources Data1, data2 and so on, 20 stocks on the screen for only trading 1 stock...
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I am assuming that you are referring to RadarScreen using TradeStation. If that is the case then you can use the Reserved Word Symbol.
You can alternatively use GetSymbolName, but I prefer to use Symbol. I am currently using it with a custom indicator in RadarScreen with a custom symbol list of 18 Symbols.
you would have to exchange data beween Radarscreen and your strategy. While this can be done using a Global Dictionary for example, it might become too much data if you need history, too.
In that case you could consider writing the historical results to a text file first and read this into the strategy.
Apart from using 20 data streams in your strategy, you could use Price Series Providers to obtain the data for other instruments within your code, without having to add the data streams to the chart.
