There seems to be a max number of "NQTV" symbols that I can add or string together in order to create a simple custom calculated symbol without any operators. And that limit turned out to be 20 based on my experiments, but I couldn't find that in your documentation: Custom Calculated Symbols I also verified that there were errors in the extra symbols above 20 that I tried to add. Here is the formula for the original symbol that I tried to create before I ran into trouble: {AAPL-NQTV}+{ADBE-NQTV}+{AMD-NQTV}+{ANET-NQTV}+{ATVI-NQTV}+{BSX-NQTV}+{CDNS-NQTV}+{CLX-NQTV}+{CMG-NQTV}+{CPRT-NQTV}+{CTAS-NQTV}+{DXCM-NQTV}+{FAST-NQTV}+{FICO-NQTV}+{FTNT-NQTV}+{HLT-NQTV}+{HSY-NQTV}+{INTU-NQTV}+{ISRG-NQTV}+{LIN-NQTV}+{LMT-NQTV}+{MA-NQTV}+{MCD-NQTV}+{MCO-NQTV}+{MNST-NQTV}+{MSCI-NQTV}+{MSFT-NQTV}+{MSI-NQTV}+{MTD-NQTV}+{NOW-NQTV}+{NVDA-NQTV}+{ODFL-NQTV}+{ORLY-NQTV}+{PEP-NQTV}+{PODD-NQTV}+{SBUX-NQTV}+{SNPS-NQTV}+{TDG-NQTV}+{TMUS-NQTV}+{TYL-NQTV}+{V-NQTV}+{VRSK-NQTV}+{VRSN-NQTV}+{YUM-NQTV} So my question is: How I can get around that arbitrary limit? Thanks. |

It is actually a limit on the length of the string that is being entered. You can not get around this limit. We have marked this as a Feature Request to increase the length of the entry.

See the updated instructions here: Custom Calculated Symbols: Instructions See steps 5 through 8. This symbol can be any alphanumeric characters now and does not have to be the formula itself. There is a separate Formula Symbol setting, which should have a much larger character limit. Make sure you are running the latest version of Sierra Chart.

Thanks and working (many thanks) as far as the assets/tickers are from the same category. Mixing for example Nasdaq tickers with CBOE generate an error message. Best regards

Should not be any error. Symbols from different exchanges in the same formula will work just fine. As long as there is market data available for all of them.
