more than 3 symbols in formula

[stook]

I'm trying to get and check 100 stock symbols in a formula and I get the following error. Is there a symbol limit in a formula? Can I increase it? If not, what's the workaround...And I'm not exceeding my 500 symbol limit...

Wizard\LBR Tick Tiki.efs, line 69: The Symbol Limit(3) for a formula has been exceeded

thx,

Jimmy:

I'm fairly certain that is a hard-coded limitation in EFS.

yes there is a limit (discussed earlier but cannot find the thread)

and yes it is strange considering that you pay for seeing many more symbols ...

Whats more, even if you get tricky and call another EFS that tries to open symbols that would bring the total high than 3, EFS catches it. And here I thought I had a sneaky work-a-round.

I tried the same workaround.

3 symbols only is a real pain since I can think of quite a few things that could use multiples...

Another pain is not being able to use bars in chart panes (excuse the pun) other than the main window. Some indicators I can dream up could do better as bars...

The next build/release/beta will allow for 5.

That should happen next week.

Thank you Matt.

how about being able to use bars in the indicator panes at the bottom instead of just lines and histograms etc? Will that also be incorporated?
