Symbol Input

FXC911 – Forex & Crypto News & Insights

Goals

  • The script allows the user to input a symbol (with Tesla as the default).

  • It then plots the closing price of the selected symbol on the chart.

This is a basic script useful for visualizing the closing prices of different stocks or financial instruments on a TradingView chart.

Pine Script Code

//@version=5
indicator("Input Symbol")

symbol = input.symbol(defval = "TSLA", title = "Select Symbol")

plot(close)

Code Output

Explanation

//@version=5

  • This line declares that the script is written using version 5 of the Pine Script language.

indicator("Input Symbol")

  • This line defines a new indicator with the name "Input Symbol". This is the title that will appear on the chart when you add this indicator.

symbol = input.symbol(defval = "TSLA", title = "Select Symbol")

  • This line creates an input field where the user can select a symbol (a ticker for a stock or other financial instrument). The default value is set to "TSLA" (Tesla). The title of this input field is "Select Symbol".

plot(close)

  • This line plots the closing price of the currently selected symbol (which defaults to Tesla if the user doesn't select a different one). The plot function is used to draw this value on the chart.
