Composite tickers under custom database

Composite tickers under custom database

Do we have any options for creating composite tickers under a custom database? Currently, I create composite tickers with multiple composites using addcomposite function. The ticker is created in quotes database and hence 6 composites can be stored under one ticker (OHLCVOI fields).I am just wondering if a composite ticker can also be created under the custom database so that any number of composites can be stored against one ticker symbol. For example, if I have some 50 composites against S&P500 universe, i will have one composite ticker for S&P500 which stores all the composites under 50 fields. It can be associated with an index ticker just like how a custom database is associated with security symbols which are already present in the account.

Why don't you create a different composite ticker for each composite?

Just thought as yet another way to organize the composites...than keeping hundreds of individual composite tickers.

In terms of performance and accessibility, it is much better to keep them as individual composite tickers.
Accessing a custom database is slower than accessing ticker data particularly if the database contains many fields.
