Value of Symbols on different charts

New comment

I'm not sure why I'm having such a hard time with but here it is.

I'm trying to get the value of the GBPEUR no matter what chart I drop my indicator on. Then I want to store that value in a variable. I have been trying to test this with the print function so I could see if I was successful however nothing is printing to the journal. What on earth am I missing.

Also I'm totally new to programming. This is my very first project attempt.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

 Here is my attempt:

OK I still dont know why it wont print however I changed the print function to a comment function and I'm able to see that I was indeed not successful. I realized I wrote the symbol improperly.

GBPEUR doesn't exist. You have to use EURGBP.
