The comp function has a parameter to filter by stock symbol. I can't find any documentation on it.... how do you use it? I would like to filter it to one symbol (ex. SPY)


Thanks!

The description of this parameter is provided in the tooltip that appears when type the "Comp" function (4 of 4)

In this parameter, you can specify the name of a list of symbols (You can create lists using the tool "Symbol" -> "Symbols View")

Example:
p = Comp(close > open, "avg", 1, 1, "NASDAQ Stocks");

If you specify only one symbol then the composite calculation will be based on only one stock. I don't think you want to do this.

Thanks, that works!

I do understand that the purpose of the comp function is to combine results across multiple symbols. But I don't know of another way to make the default symbol a function works with other than the symbol the simulator is currently evaluating; so it looks like the comp function might meet my needs in that regard.
