Relative Performance/Return Chart - Compare Several Assets/Stocks - Update for automation

Update to Relative Performance/Return Chart - Compare Several Assets/Stocks to pull watchlist symbols and visible startdate of chart through global variables.

Use this or similar formula in your chart pane:

---------------------------------------
temp1 = CompareAssets();
temp2 = iffstr(temp1,"Close - All plotted","Close - Only first 27 plotted");
PrintChart(temp2, "Notice", BottomLeft, colorWhite, colorBlack, colorBlack, 255);
---------------------------------------

to pull symbols and dates, and update chart you can use this script attached as shortcut to your application:

---------------------------------------
string[] assets = Watchlist.GetSymbols("TAA_Basic"); // <<---put your watchlist name here!!
string Assets = "";
for(int j=0;j {
Assets = Assets + ";" + assets[j];
}
Global.SetVariable("Symbols",Assets);

Chart chart = Charts.GetSelectedChart();
DateTime startdate = chart.VisibleStartDate;
Global.SetVariable("Date",startdate);
chart.Update();

// To "receive" in the indicator script use these lines :

//string Assets = Global.GetVariable("Symbols").ToString();
//string[] assets = Assets.Split(';');
//string Date = Global.GetVariable("Date").ToString();
---------------------------------------

All in C#, so please ensure you use in bottom right of the editors!

Separate post with outcome screenshot and another script follows.

Have fun,
