Custom Studies Examples

Requesting Data for Another Ticker

  1. Come up with a new ticker name to display your data and set up your server to return valid SymbolInfo for this new ticker.
  2. Also, set up the server to return valid historical data for this ticker.
  3. Add custom_indicators_getter key to the widget constructor. Its value is a function that returns a Promise object with a list of custom indicators.
  4. (Optional) Update your widget's initialization code to create this indicator when the chart is ready.
