Ideas:
1. Easy way: Get properly back-adjusted data from a good source.
2. Hard way: I could envision, with some work and appropriate symbol
names, that you could write code that would change the symbol name based
on the date and thus either change foreign()/SetForeign() data OR
require the correct symbol name in the buy statement based on the date.
The concept would look "something" like this:
function currentSym(currentDate)
{
todaysTicker = "NQ "
+ "appropriate string is computed and placed here";
return todaysTicker;
}
Buy = yourCondition AND Name() == currentSym(DateNum(BarIndex()));
Your user-defined function could either figure out the right symbol
number or just read from a list.
Also since there are no "arrays of strings" you will have to get
creative on picking out today's date as my code above does not actually
work.
