Hello,

I would like to use a price reference to another symbol for position size calculation. What would be the correct syntax for this?

Regards,

Dennis

Hi Dennis,

You can use this:
a = getseries("Symbol", close);

I get a error while using this?

string a=getseries("Symbol",close);

This is a QS language formula so, you should not use "string a"

Just
a = getseries("GOOG", close); // To get the close time series of GOOG stored in variable "a"

Thank you...

If I understand correclty this will return a array? I would need the close of the date processed, only that.

Everything returns an array/vector in QS language. Please read this:

In the "getseries", see how I specified "close" in the second parameter. You can plot the "a" variable on a chart to have a visual confirmation.

a = getseries("GOOG", close);
plot(a, "", colorGreen);
