I have some problem with the FindNamedSeries method in WealthLab. In my data set I have a symbol called “Benchmark” which is populated by Index data. In addition to the OHLCV values, there are series called “PBR” and “ROE”, which I create as part of the import process. I am accessing this data in my strategy using the code

CODE:

When I had trouble using the PBR_Idx DataSeries I inserted a couple of debug statements to look at the values being populated in the series

CODE:

If I run the Strategy on the Benchmark Symbol itself, I am getting the expected values from the PBR_Idx Dataseries in the Debug window. However, if I run the Strategy on any other symbol, the PBR_Idx Dataseries appears to be zero filled. Is there any problem with what I am trying to do here?

It worked fine on the previous version of WealthLab.

Have you tried the other overloaded call for GetExternalSymbol? Is it any different?

Which data provider (and revision number) are you using for NamedSeries?

Thank You very much Eugene,

The overloaded call worked perfectly.

We use ASCII Files Static 1.3.4.0 data provider (Bloomberg and converted into csv files)

Glad to have helped. So this problem occurs on both Bloomberg Static and ASCII data? I'm pretty sure that all NamedSeries bugs were squashed years ago.
