offsetSeries

[Alan2004]

Good afternoon;

While expanding an EFS, I encountered the following error mesage which referanced the offsetSeries line. This is the 9th offsetSeries calculation with a unique symbol. I need 11 so is there a way to work around this limit?

"The Symbol Limit(7) for a formula has been exceeded"

In the premain section:

Symbol1 = "$playback";

Interval23 = "40S";

In the main section:

vSymbol11 = Symbol1+","+Interval23;

xMA1000 = offsetSeries(eval(sma)(3,eval(low)(sym(vSymbol11)) ),0);

Thanks,

As far as I know there is no workaround. An efs can access up to a maximum of 7 symbols

Alex,

Thank you for the reply.

I am using the same ticker symbol in all cases. Is the limit 7 ticker symbols or 7 uses of the same ticker?

You may want to see this thread in which Jason provides some clarifications on the symbol limit in efs

Alex,

The limit of 7 intervals in an EFS forces the calculation of additional intervals in a seperate EFS and transfering the results to the other EFS. By using setGlobalValue and using the longest intervals for transfer (15 minute data transfered to 35 tick chart), I get minimal registration issues. Is there a better way to accomplish the transfer?

The biggest problem with setGlobalValue is if the receiving EFS is reloaded during Playback, all historical data is lost. Is there a sample EFS which stores the transferred data in an array or file such that a reload does not loose the historical data?

Thank you for the assistance,

You will need to save the data to a file using the File Object. I don't know of a specific example so you may want to try searching the Bulletin Board.
