EFS formula incorporating data from multiple windows

[hawks67]

Let's say my page shows three different markets - crude, gasoline and corn. I have multiple studies on each, including stochastics and Bollinger Bands. I want to code an EFS that utilizes/compares the current stochastic values of all three markets. Is this currently possible, to incorporate data from different market windows on the same page into one EFS? Right now if I code three different ones, one for each, running concurrently, and they all reach a particular threshold and generate a ding or something, they tend to run over each other and I can't immediately tell if there were three dings, two or one without looking. Having one "master" EFS that draws real-time live data from everything on the page would be fantastic. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

Yes it is possible. All the EFS2 functions for the built-in studies - and many other EFS functions - are capable of accessing and synchronizing with external symbols and/or intervals [ie symbols and/or intervals that are different from the one being charted] using the sym() or inv() functions. Most of the formulas that are installed in the EFS2 Custom subfolder of the Formulas folder are already enabled for this functionality. In addition it is also possible to create custom indicators that can be based on external symbols and/or intervals.
If you run a search through the EFS KnowledgeBase and this forum you will find many examples illustrating this functionality and its use.

Thank you, Alexis. I apologize if this info is already in the Knowledgebase; I searched and found nothing...apparently my searches were poorly constructed. :-)
