Properties​

base_name​

• Optional base_name: [string]

Array of base symbols Example: for AAPL*MSFT it is ['NASDAQ:AAPL', 'NASDAQ:MSFT']

Inherited from​

LibrarySymbolInfo.base_name

build_seconds_from_ticks​

• Optional build_seconds_from_ticks: boolean

The boolean value showing whether or not seconds bars for this symbol can be built from ticks. Only available in Trading Platform.

The library builds resolutions from ticks only if there are no seconds resolutions from the datafeed or the provided resolutions are larger then the required one. For example, the datafeed provides 3S resolution. In this case, the library can build only 1S or 2S resolutions from ticks. Resolutions such as 15S will be build with seconds bars.

Default

false

• Optional corrections: string

List of corrections for a symbol. The corrections are days when the trading session differs from the default one set in LibrarySymbolInfo.session. The corrections value is a string in the following format: SESSION:YYYYMMDD. For more information, refer to corrections.

The string below specifies corrections for two trading days:

  • November 13, 2018. This trading day is split into two sessions. The first session starts at 19:00 four days before (November 9, 2018) and ends at 23:50 four days before. The second session starts at 10:00 and ends at 18:45.
  • November 14, 2018. The session starts at 10:00 and ends at 14:00.

has_daily​

• Optional has_daily: boolean

A flag indicating whether your datafeed contains daily data for this symbol. If true, the library requests this data when a daily resolution is selected. If false, No data here is displayed on the chart.

has_daily is set to true by default. However, you should also specify daily_multipliers to enable daily resolutions. Refer to the Resolution article for more information.

Default

Inherited from​

LibrarySymbolInfo.has_daily

has_empty_bars​

• Optional has_empty_bars: boolean

The boolean value showing whether the library should generate empty bars in the session when there is no data from the data feed for this particular time.

I.e., if your session is 0900-1600 and your data has gaps between 11:00 and 12:00 and your has_empty_bars is true, then the Library will fill the gaps with bars for this time.

Flag has_empty_bars = true cannot be used if featureset disable_resolution_rebuild is enabled.

Default

false

Inherited from​

LibrarySymbolInfo.has_empty_bars

has_intraday​

• Optional has_intraday: boolean

A flag indicating whether your datafeed contains intraday (minutes) data for this symbol. If true, the library requests this data when an intraday resolution is selected. If false, No data here is displayed on the chart.

This property is required to enable intraday resolutions. Refer to the Resolution article for more information.

Default

false

Inherited from​

Inherited from​

LibrarySymbolInfo.has_seconds

has_ticks​

• Optional has_ticks: boolean

A flag indicating whether your datafeed contains ticks data for this symbol. If true, the library requests this data when a resolution in ticks is selected. If false, No data here is displayed on the chart.

You should set has_ticks to true to enable ticks resolutions. Refer to the Resolution article for more information.

Default

false

Inherited from​

LibrarySymbolInfo.has_ticks

has_weekly_and_monthly​

• Optional has_weekly_and_monthly: boolean

A flag indicating whether your datafeed contains weekly or monthly data for this symbol. If true, the library requests this data when the corresponding resolution is selected. To enable weekly or monthly resolutions, you should also specify the weekly_multipliers or monthly_multipliers properties. Refer to the Resolution article for more information.

If has_weekly_and_monthly is set to false, the library attempts to build the resolutions using daily bars. Note that building bars requires a large number of requests to your datafeed. If the library fails to build bars, No data here is displayed on the chart.

Default

false

Inherited from​

An array of intraday (minutes) resolutions that your datafeed supports. Items in the array should be listed in ascending order, for example: ["1", "2"].

This property is required to enable intraday resolutions. Refer to the Resolution article for more information. Note that each resolution in intraday_multipliers should be handled in the IDatafeedChartApi.getBars implementation. Consider the example.

The library also uses resolutions listed in intraday_multipliers to display higher resolution that your datafeed does not explicitly support. If intraday_multipliers is not specified, the library cannot build additional resolutions.

Note that the library cannot build daily, weekly, or monthly resolutions using intraday data.

But the e-mini S&P futures contract, though quoted in decimals, goes up in .25 increments, so the tick increment is 25 and minmov = 25. Refer to Price format for more information.

Inherited from​

LibrarySymbolInfo.minmov

minmove2​

• Optional minmove2: number

This property is used to display prices in the fraction of a fraction format. For example, the ZBM2023 tick size is 1/4 of a 32nd. To display this security, set minmov = 1, pricescale = 128, minmove2 = 4.

For common prices, minmove2 can be skipped or set to 0.

Default

['1']

Inherited from​

LibrarySymbolInfo.monthly_multipliers

name​

• name: string

It is a symbol name within an exchange, such as AAPL or 9988 (Hong Kong). Note that it should not contain the exchange name. This symbol name is visible to users and can be repeated.

By default, name is used to resolve symbols in the Datafeed API. If you use LibrarySymbolInfo.ticker, the library will use the ticker for Datafeed API requests.

Note that you should set the symbol_info_price_source featureset to true to display the symbol price source in the main series legend.

Inherited from​

LibrarySymbolInfo.price_source_id

price_sources​

• Optional price_sources: SymbolInfoPriceSource[]

Supported price sources for the symbol. Price sources appear in the series legend and indicate the origin of values represented by symbol bars. Example price sources: "Spot Price", "Ask", "Bid", etc. The price source information is valuable when viewing non-OHLC series types.

Note that you should set the symbol_info_price_source featureset to true to display the symbol price source in the main series legend.

Example

[{ id: '1', name: 'Spot Price' }, { id: '321', name: 'Bid' }]

Inherited from​

LibrarySymbolInfo.price_sources

pricescale​

• pricescale: number

A number of decimal places or fractions that the price has.

The pricescale value depends on the price format. If you want to display the price in the decimal format, pricescale should be 10^n, where n is the number of decimal places. Examples: 1, 10, 10000000.

If you want to display the price in the fractional format, pricescale should be 2^n. This value represents the number of fractions. Examples: 8, 16, 256.

Inherited from​

LibrarySymbolInfo.pricescale

seconds_multipliers​

• Optional seconds_multipliers: string[]

An array of seconds resolutions that your datafeed supports. Items in the array should be listed in ascending order and should not include letters, for example: ["1", "2"]. This property is required to enable seconds resolutions. Refer to the Resolution article for more information.

The library also uses resolutions listed in seconds_multipliers to display higher resolution that your datafeed does not explicitly support. If seconds_multipliers is not specified, the library cannot build additional resolutions. Consider the example. You need to enable one-second and five-second resolutions but your datafeed contains only one-second data. In this case, you should set seconds_multipliers to ["1"]. The library will build the five-second resolution from one-second data.

supported_resolutions​

• Optional supported_resolutions: ResolutionString[]

An array of resolutions which should be enabled in the Resolution drop-down menu for this symbol. Each item of the array is expected to be a string that has a specific format.

If one changes the symbol and the new symbol does not support the selected resolution, an error message will be shown on the chart.

Resolution availability logic (pseudocode):

resolutionAvailable  =
    resolution.isIntraday
        ? symbol.has_intraday && symbol.supported_resolutions(resolution)
        : symbol.supported_resolutions(resolution);

If supported_resolutions is [] (empty array), all resolutions are disabled in the Resolution drop-down menu.

If supported_resolutions is undefined, all resolutions that the chart support (DatafeedConfiguration.supported_resolutions) and custom resolutions are enabled.

Note that the list of available time frames depends on supported resolutions. Time frames that require resolutions that are unavailable for a particular symbol will be hidden. Refer to Time frame toolbar for more information.
