Tokens - SET statement

The SET command is used to set a variety of instrument/symbol properties. The format for setting a property in a scan, signal, or custom indicator, is:

SET(property, value)

The SET statement is commonly used in a scan to set the properties on all the symbols in the scans target (input) quotepage. SET is also used in trading system signals to manage targets and stops. The resulting "value" of the SET statement in the context of the scan, signal, or custom indicator, is TRUE (or 1 numerically). To reverse this meaning (to False or "0"), just use !SET

Technical Indicators

Investor/RT supports a wide variety of Technical Indicators. A technical indicator, when added to a chart object, performs some calculation on the historical data of a user-specified instrument within the chart.

Technical Indicator Scope

Prior to Version 5.2, every technical indicator added to a chart is specific to that chart window. Every chart window in Investor/RT is a "template". That is, you can switch a different instrument into any chart and all of the technical indicators within the chart are automatically associated with the new instrument. In Version 5.2 we have considerably expanded the flexibility of technical indicators by enabling them to be designated either as "instrument specific indicators" or "all chart indicators" (or both).
