Backtesting with multiple symbols

[cusip]

How does one backtest a strategy involving three or four symbols on a single advanced chart? The strategy object doesn't seem to allow the symbol to be specified:

Strategy.doLong(Desc, FillType, FillBar, LotSize, StopOrLimit)

If only a single symbol is on the advanced chart, all is well as doLong(), and the related functions, assume that the default symbol is being backtested.


Thanks.
