I am trying to get database information for symbols in an indicator and I have not been able to correctly access the VectorCustom structure.
Here is the code.

cFunctions.SetForwardAndBackwardBars((int) thisPeriod[0], 0);
VectorCustom curSym = cFunctions.GetCustomDatabaseData("Quotes", "Close", "MSFT");

int numberOfBars = sumVal.Length;
Global.Trace("COUNT: " + curSym.Length.ToString());

for (int i = 0; i < numberOfBars; i++)
{
//sumVal[i]= (double) curSym;
//Global.Trace("RI: "+sumVal[i].ToString() + " " + curSym[i].ToString());
}

result=sumVal;

Any access to the VectorCustom structure produces the following error:

Compilation error in 'myIndex':
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Any ideas? Can I get addtional info on how to best query this information from an indictor.

Thanks

Best Answer

"Quotes" is not a custom database.

Here is how to get close price series for MSFT:

VectorCustomDouble curSym = cFunctions.GetTimeframeData("MSFT", cFunctions.Timeframe, "close");
