syminfo.tickerid - Pine Script Variable

syminfo.tickerid

Overview

A ticker identifier representing the chart’s symbol or a requested symbol, depending on how the script uses it. The variable’s value represents a requested dataset’s ticker ID when used in the expression argument of a request.*() function call. Otherwise, it represents the chart’s ticker ID. The value contains an exchange prefix and a symbol name, separated by a colon (e.g., “NASDAQ:AAPL”). It can also include information about data modifications such as dividend adjustment, non-standard chart type, currency conversion, etc.

Type

string

Qualifier

simple

Remarks

• Because the value of this variable does not always use a simple “prefix:ticker” format, it is a poor candidate for use in boolean comparisons or string manipulation functions. In those contexts, run the variable’s result through ticker.standard to purify it. This will remove any extraneous information and return a ticker ID consistently formatted using the “prefix:ticker” structure.
