Programming a plot using multiple charts

Hey everybody,

I’m curious as to whether or not there is a way that I can have an arrow plotted on a chart that uses multiple charts.

What I mean is for instance, when the NQ closes below it’s open, the RTY closes below its open and the ES closes below its open, there is a down arrow plotted at the top of the candle on the ES. Is that possible on TOS? Would love to use this not only for the other markets but for other charts as well like the NYA.

Specifically, I want an indicator that says basically, “when the $TICK, $TIKND, $TIKSP close below their open on a 1 minute chart, and the NYA closes above its open on a 1 minute chart, there is a down arrow that is plotted on the ES on a 1 minute. The opposite is true as well.”

Thanks!

Could I add multiple charts to that? Declare lower the NQ, the NYA, the $TICK etc?
Yes. Just add new lines for the "def symbol" line (add a number to it for example) and specify new symbols. You can use the OHLC of any symbol, you can also specify the TF like this:

Ruby:
input symbol = "/NQ";
input aggPeriod = AggregationPeriod.DAY;

def nqDayHigh = high(symbol, period = aggPeriod);

plot NQHIGH = naDayHigh;

You can reference other charts/symbols as follows:

Ruby:
declare lower;
input symbol = "/NQ";
plot Data = close(symbol);

How do I specify the time frame to be 1 minute? I want the alert to go off when I have 3 specific charts closing the minute with a red candle and 1 specific chart closing the minute with a green candle.
