I have a layout which includes an indicator derived from external data (as explained in a great video tutorial referenced in a prior discussion topic - http://forums.worden.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=53230 ).

Tech support had mentioned in passing that it would be possible to have a second external data series plotted as a second, separate indicator for the same symbol, but I am not sure how that could be done, as you can't have two files with the same name (such as SP-500.csv).  

Could you please explain how I can have two different external data sets plotted as separate indicators?

Thanks,

Bruce V.

You would give the files different names. So for example, you could have:

SP-500.csv

SP-500$1.csv

SP-500$2.csv

Since the files have different names, you could reference the different files for different plots in StockFinder.

Part of the realcode for the first indicator (which would draw upon a file named SP-500.csv) reads:

Dim reader As New MarketDataReader(Me.CurrentSymbol & ".csv")

Would I change that in the 2nd indicator (to read from a file named SP-500$1.csv):

Dim reader As New MarketDataReader(Me.CurrentSymbol & "$1.csv") ?

That is exactly what you would do.

Thanks Bruce.

You're welcome.
