There seems to be a max number of "NQTV" symbols that I can add or string together in order to create a simple custom calculated symbol without any operators. And that limit turned out to be 20 based on my experiments, but I couldn't find that in your documentation: Custom Calculated Symbols I also verified that there were errors in the extra symbols above 20 that I tried to add. Here is the formula for the original symbol that I tried to create before I ran into trouble: {AAPL-NQTV}+{ADBE-NQTV}+{AMD-NQTV}+{ANET-NQTV}+{ATVI-NQTV}+{BSX-NQTV}+{CDNS-NQTV}+{CLX-NQTV}+{CMG-NQTV}+{CPRT-NQTV}+{CTAS-NQTV}+{DXCM-NQTV}+{FAST-NQTV}+{FICO-NQTV}+{FTNT-NQTV}+{HLT-NQTV}+{HSY-NQTV}+{INTU-NQTV}+{ISRG-NQTV}+{LIN-NQTV}+{LMT-NQTV}+{MA-NQTV}+{MCD-NQTV}+{MCO-NQTV}+{MNST-NQTV}+{MSCI-NQTV}+{MSFT-NQTV}+{MSI-NQTV}+{MTD-NQTV}+{NOW-NQTV}+{NVDA-NQTV}+{ODFL-NQTV}+{ORLY-NQTV}+{PEP-NQTV}+{PODD-NQTV}+{SBUX-NQTV}+{SNPS-NQTV}+{TDG-NQTV}+{TMUS-NQTV}+{TYL-NQTV}+{V-NQTV}+{VRSK-NQTV}+{VRSN-NQTV}+{YUM-NQTV} So my question is: How I can get around that arbitrary limit? Thanks. |

It is actually a limit on the length of the string that is being entered. You can not get around this limit. We have marked this as a Feature Request to increase the length of the entry.

See the updated instructions here: Custom Calculated Symbols: Instructions See steps 5 through 8. This symbol can be any alphanumeric characters now and does not have to be the formula itself. There is a separate Formula Symbol setting, which should have a much larger character limit. Make sure you are running the latest version of Sierra Chart.
