OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
Ticker Data
This script mostly for Pine coders but may be useful for regular users too.
I often find myself needing quick access to certain information about a ticker — like its full ticker name, mintick, last bar index and so on. Usually, I write a few lines of code just to display this info and check it.
Today I got tired of doing that manually, so I created a small script that shows the most essential data in one place. I also added a few extra fields that might be useful or interesting to regular users.
Description for regular users (from Pine Script Reference Manual)
tickerid - full ticker name
description - description for the current symbol
industry - the industry of the symbol. Example: "Internet Software/Services", "Packaged software", "Integrated Oil", "Motor Vehicles", etc.
country - the two-letter code of the country where the symbol is traded
sector - the sector of the symbol. Example: "Electronic Technology", "Technology services", "Energy Minerals", "Consumer Durables", etc.
session - session type (regular or extended)
timezone - timezone of the exchange of the chart
type - the type of market the symbol belongs to. Example: "stock", "fund", "index", "forex", "futures", "spread", "economic", "fundamental", "crypto".
volumetype - volume type of the current symbol.
mincontract - the smallest amount of the current symbol that can be traded
mintick - min tick value for the current symbol (the smallest increment between a symbol's price movements)
pointvalue - point value for the current symbol
pricescale - a whole number used to calculate mintick (usually (when minmove is 1), it shows the resolution — how many decimal places the price has. For example, a pricescale 100 means the price will have two decimal places - 1 / 100 = 0.01)
bar index - last bar index (if add 1 (because indexes starts from 0) it will shows how many bars available to you on the chart)
If you need some more information at table feel free to leave a comment.
