Does anyone have a working example on how to implement the SymbolID function into OmniLanguage?
I get the symbol reference# but how is this applied to a formula?
Simple example: SymbolID("")=5425 SMA(10) > SMA(20)
How would this be written?
Thanks!

Good question! It depends on what you're after.
So 5425 is SPY & you're wanting the filter to pass all symbols only if the SMA(10) > SMA(20) on SPY is true? Or do you want the filter to pass if the symbol is SPY as well as the SMA(10) > SMA(20) is true?
This formula will pass any symbol if SPY's SMA(10) is greater than SPY's SMA(20).
SMA(GetClose("SPY"),10) > SMA(GetClose("SPY"),20)
That could also be written like this.
This formula will pass ONLY the SPY if SPY's SMA(10) is greater than SPY's SMA(20). All other symbols will not pass.
SymbolID("") = 5425 AND SMA(10) > SMA(20)

Hey Barry,
Sorry for the delayed response.
What I am after is in omni language for a stop.
I use many references to $SPX in my formulas and am trying to write a stop referencing the stop value of the $SPX for the given symbol.
STOP EX: if SMA($SPX) > SMA($SPX)[1] then exit signal....
My formulas are complex but the syntax will(should) work regardless.
Thanks for the help!

In that case you would not use SymbolID. You could have an OmniScript stop set to a condition like this...
SMA(GetClose("$SPX"),10) > SMA(GetClose("$SPX"),20)

Thanks Barry for the help.
One of the indicators that I use out of the box is SuperTrend but I am having trouble writing this referencing $spx.
Tried many ways using your example with no luck.
Any ideas?

It looks like the SuperTrend indicators don't have a data parameter available like in the above example. I'll see if I can get it added in a pre-release.
