Overview

Symbol Info Helper gathers built-in symbol properties including ticker identifier, description, instrument type, point value, exchange prefix, currency, minimum tick size, and timezone. The indicator renders this information inside a persistent label attached to the current bar at the average price level. It provides no trading signals, technical analysis calculations, or configurable input settings, serving purely as a reference tool.

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.
