Working with combined/calculated tickers -> coding tool
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!

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:
Then you can copy the data and put it in a variable:
tradingview.com/chart/jdqOa9PD/
This string can sometimes only be used in previous situation
(syminfo.ticker == ...), and not for example in a security call:
This gives an error -> symbol resolve error
if we use what is visible at the top left -> no issue
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:
Cheers!
