A while ago Tradingview made it possible to combine multiple tickers, and even do calculations with them.
By doing so you can create a whole new ticker!
https://www.tradingview.com/chart/AAPL/ZtMqr022-Create-Your-Own-Formula-and-Chart-It/
For example:
-> Add symbol (+)
-> search bar -> type -> AAPL/GOOG or ((AAPL*2) + (GOOG*3)) / BTCUSD or ...
-> press Enter
-> the chart will appear and is added to your watchlist
Sometimes you want a script to do something ONLY when the chart is on a particular ticker
For example, you want a draw line at the latest high, only when 'AAPL' is selected for your chart:
(if I would use following logic, I would code this differently, this is just for making a simple example)
If you replace 'AAPL' with 'AAPL/GOOG' and go to the chart of 'AAPL/GOOG' you would see nothing...
You'll need to get the exact ticker name, which is apparently not 'AAPL/GOOG'
To fetch the correct syminfo.ticker, add the following to your code to your script:
Then you'll see this:
When you enter this at the correct place:
->
The same with '((AAPL*2) + (GOOG*3)) / BTCUSD'
The syminfo.ticker is actually 'AAPL*2+BATS:GOOG*3)/BITSTAMP:BTCUSD' 😃
->
Cheers!

Note
You can create large combinations, for example:'MKRUSD+AAVEUSD+CVXUSD+UNIUSD+COMPUSD+INSTUSDT+BALUSD+YFIUSD+BNTUSD+LQTYUSD'
(max 10 during testing)
To make it easy to copy such a string, you can make an alert:
Pine Script®
if barstate.islast
alert(syminfo.ticker, alert.freq_once_per_bar)
Then you can copy the data and put it in a variable:
Pine Script®
strDEFI_10x_1 = 'MKRUSD+COINBASE:AAVEUSD+BITSTAMP:CVXUSD+COINBASE:UNIUSD+COINBASE:COMPUSD+COINEX:INSTUSDT+COINBASE:BALUSD+COINBASE:YFIUSD+COINBASE:BNTUSD+COINBASE:LQTYUSD'
if barstate.islast and syminfo.ticker == strDEFI_10x_1
line.new(bar_index, high, bar_index + 1, high, extend=extend.both, color=color.white)
tradingview.com/chart/jdqOa9PD/
This string can sometimes only be used in previous situation
(syminfo.ticker == ...), and not for example in a security call:
Pine Script®
strAAPL_GOOG = 'AAPL*2+BATS:GOOG*3)/BITSTAMP:BTCUSD' // we know this worked previously
hi_AAPL_GOOG = request.security(strAAPL_GOOG, '', high)
if barstate.islast
line.new(bar_index, hi_AAPL_GOOG, bar_index + 1, hi_AAPL_GOOG, extend=extend.both, color=color.blue)
This gives an error -> symbol resolve error
if we use what is visible at the top left -> no issue
Pine Script®
strAAPL_GOOG = '(AAPL*2+GOOG*3)/BTCUSD'
hi_AAPL_GOOG = request.security(strAAPL_GOOG, '', high) // no error
if barstate.islast
line.new(bar_index, hi_AAPL_GOOG, bar_index + 1, hi_AAPL_GOOG, extend=extend.both, color=color.blue)
if syminfo.ticker == 'AAPL*2+BATS:GOOG*3)/BITSTAMP:BTCUSD' // '(AAPL*2+GOOG*3)/BTCUSD' -> no label showing
label.new(bar_index, high, text=syminfo.ticker)
Also, we have to consider the different tickers ~ sessions, this can give mixed results
Daily (perfect):
4u chart (not as intended):
Of course you can experiment further:
Pine Script®
str_1 = '(AAPL*2+GOOG*3)/BTCUSD'
str_2 = 'BNBUSD/ETHUSD*AAPL/NEOUSD'
[vol_1, sma20_1] = request.security(str_1, '', [volume, ta.sma(close, 20)])
[vol_2, sma20_2] = request.security(str_2, '', [volume, ta.sma(close, 20)])
if barstate.islast
label.new(bar_index, sma20_1, text=str_1)
label.new(bar_index, sma20_2, text=str_2)
vol = vol_1 + vol_2
plot(sma20_1, color=color.yellow)
plot(sma20_2, color=color.red )
plot(vol , style=plot.style_columns, color=vol > vol[1] ? #23CD1180 : #FF000080)
Cheers!
