ticker.inherit() - Pine Script Function

ticker.inherit()

Overview

Constructs a ticker ID for the specified symbol with additional parameters inherited from the ticker ID passed into the function call, allowing the script to request a symbol’s data using the same modifiers that the from_tickerid has, including extended session, dividend adjustment, currency conversion, non-standard chart types, back-adjustment, settlement-as-close, etc.

Syntax

ticker.inherit(from_tickerid, symbol) → simple string

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
from_tickerid	simple string	The ticker ID to inherit modifiers from.

Remarks

• If the constructed ticker ID inherits a modifier that doesn’t apply to the symbol (e.g., if the from_tickerid has Extended Hours enabled, but no such option is available for the symbol), the script will ignore the modifier when requesting data using the ID.
