Overview

The script builds a custom ticker ID for a target ticker while inheriting the current session type, requests closing prices via the security function, and plots the resulting data line in a separate indicator pane using a line break style. It serves as an example of context-aware ticker handling across chart session types.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
