Which version of MultiCharts you are using?

Are you trying to apply an indicator to the msft?

What is cclose?



ps. when you apply an indicator, it is default to data1.

Using the current one

Not trying to applying an indicator to msft but rather want to use msft close in devising an indicator

Rather using msft for data2 on other chart to devise the indicator, want to directly program msft close on the indicator script

var1=msft close

and use var1 directly on the script

is there some built in for the above?

Using the current one

What is the current one?
I thought I was using the "current" version until someone pointed out I was 2 versions behind.

MultiCharts Discretionary Trader? or the Premium version?

You can program with the premium version, but not the discretionary trader.

Please click on Help > MultiCharts and copy/paste the version number here.

If you want to use a data, any data, whether it is from another symbol or anything, you have to have it on the chart first. The data do not come out of the thin air. I do not see how or why you do not want to use data2 on your chart. Can you explain a bit more?

using 7.4

other program has some built in for getting data from other instrument

v1=security("msft",C)

the above would get the msft and use msft on the script

using the above there no need for d2 on the chart

does multichart has the above or program to achieve the above?
