Importing a signal from another study&timeframe

Hello,

Importing a signal from a another timeframe apparently requires to go through the importation of the metasentimentor as in the SCD Scalping strategy as I was told, but the express import code can only deals with 3 cases (a built-in indicator, a express-coded indicator or the price series from a given study), so does anyone know how to code the importation of the metasentimentor from another study ?

Also, in order to use this signal :
- from a higher timeframe I believe that I have to use the closed bar[1] value since in bar[0] the higher timeframe bar is current and therefore not closed !
- from a lower timeframe I believe that I have to use the closed bar[1] value as an advanced signal since in bar[0] the lower timeframe bar is current and therefore not closed !

It would be quite simple and easy to just import the required indicator from a given study & timeframe and not the metasentimentor itself.

Thank you in advance for any answer or comment.

Cheers,

Jean-Christophe

Hello Jean-Christophe,

to import the MetaSentimentor of a different study you have to use the study indicator and select the name of the study from which you want to import the MetaSentimentor. Example for FDAX:

In the end it should look like below:

It's not sufficient to simply select the "DAX" symbol.

I hope this helps.
