Pine Script / External Data Alternative

Question

As far as I know, Pine Script does not accept external data currently. I have static x1v and x2v coordinates for 1 trendline each for 2000 symbols that I would like to input into Pine Script for each symbol. When syminfo.tickerid matches with a string for these values, I would like Pine Script to plot trend lines only for the respective symbol.

One approach I tried is as following:

//@version=4
study('TEST', overlay=true, title = "test")

x1v = int(na)
x2v = int(na)

x1v := iff(syminfo.ticker == 'AAPL', 20,x1v)
x2v := iff(syminfo.ticker == 'AAPL', 6,x2v)
x1v := iff(syminfo.ticker == 'MSFT', 20,x1v)
x2v := iff(syminfo.ticker == 'MSFT', 6,x2v)
x1v := iff(syminfo.ticker == 'OPEN', 20,x1v)
x2v := iff(syminfo.ticker == 'OPEN', 6,x2v)
x1v := iff(syminfo.ticker == 'SPY', 20,x1v)
x2v := iff(syminfo.ticker == 'SPY', 6,x2v)

myline = line.new(x1=bar_index-x1v, y1=high[x1v], x2=bar_index-x2v, y2=high)
line.set_extend(myline, extend.both)
line.delete(myline[1])

Doing this for 2000 symbols, produces 4000+ lines and Pine Script does not accept it saying: Script has too many local variables (5187) in "#f2": #mut_0, #mut_1, #mut_0, #mut_1, #mut_0... The limit is 1100

Even though the local variables are the same x1v and x2v.

Is there any other option to overcome this or to make this more compact?

Here's a way to do it.
I've included 2 methods:

f_fill_array_all_tickers()
- Looks cleaner
- Might be slower.
f_fill_array_current_ticker_only()
- Looks less clean
- Might be faster, depending on how far down the list the ticker is.

The script has an input checkbox i_fill_array_all_tickers to let you choose between the 2 methods.

I'd personally go for f_fill_array_all_tickers() because of readability/maintainability.

//@version=4
study("Lines", "LI", true)

var bool        i_fill_array_all_tickers    = input(false, "Fill array with ALL tickers")

var string[]    a_ticker    = array.new_string()
var int[]       a_x1        = array.new_int()
var int[]       a_x2        = array.new_int()

var line        myLine      = line.new(na, na, na, na, extend=extend.both)

f_add(_ticker, _x1, _x2) =>
    if array.includes(a_ticker, _ticker)
        // update existing ticker
        idx = array.indexof(a_ticker, _ticker)
        array.set(a_x1, idx, _x1)
        array.set(a_x2, idx, _x2)
    else
        // insert new ticker
        array.push(a_ticker,    _ticker)
        array.push(a_x1,        _x1)
        array.push(a_x2,        _x2)


f_fill_array_all_tickers() =>
    //fill array with data for ALL tickers
    f_add("AAPL", 20, 6)
    f_add("MSFT", 20, 6)
    f_add("OPEN", 20, 6)
    f_add("SPY" , 20, 6)
    
f_fill_array_current_ticker_only() =>
    //fill array with data for only the CURRENT tickers
    if      syminfo.ticker == "AAPL" 
        f_add(syminfo.ticker, 20, 6)
    else if syminfo.ticker == "MSFT"
        f_add(syminfo.ticker, 20, 6)
    else if syminfo.ticker == "OPEN"
        f_add(syminfo.ticker, 20, 6)
    else if syminfo.ticker == "MSFT"
        f_add(syminfo.ticker, 20, 6)

f_fill_array() =>
    if i_fill_array_all_tickers
        f_fill_array_all_tickers()
    else
        f_fill_array_current_ticker_only()
        
if barstate.isfirst
    f_fill_array() 

if barstate.islast and array.includes(a_ticker, syminfo.ticker)
    idx = array.indexof(a_ticker, syminfo.ticker)
    x1  = array.get(a_x1, idx)
    x2  = array.get(a_x2, idx)
    line.set_xy1(myLine, bar_index - x1, high[x1])
    line.set_xy2(myLine, bar_index - x2, high)

Minimized code

//@version=4
study("Lines", "LI", true)

var a_ticker = array.new_string()
var a_x1 = array.new_int()
var a_x2 = array.new_int()
var myLine = line.new(na, na, na, na, extend=extend.both)

ai(a,v) => array.includes(a,v)
ax(a,v) => array.indexof(a,v)
as(a,i,v) => array.set(a,i,v)
ag(a,i) => array.get(a,i)
ap(a,v) => array.push(a,v)

f(t,a,b) =>
    if ai(a_ticker,t)
        i = ax(a_ticker,t),as(a_x1,i,a),as(a_x2,i,b) 
    else 
        ap(a_ticker,t),ap(a_x1,a),ap(a_x2,b)

a() => f("AAPL",20,6),f("MSFT",20,6),f("OPEN",20,6),f("SPY",20,6)
    
if barstate.isfirst
    a() 

if barstate.islast and ai(a_ticker, syminfo.ticker)
    idx = ax(a_ticker, syminfo.ticker)
    x1  = ag(a_x1, idx)
    x2  = ag(a_x2, idx)
    line.set_xy1(myLine, bar_index - x1, high[x1])
    line.set_xy2(myLine, bar_index - x2, high)

This seems to work, with 10 lines of 100 elements each

//@version=4

var a_x1 = array.new_int()
var a_x2 = array.new_int()

ap(a,v) => array.push(a,v)

f(t,a,b) =>
    if ai(a_ticker,t)
        i = ax(a_ticker,t),as(a_x1,i,a),as(a_x2,i,b) 
    else

if barstate.isfirst
    a()
    
if barstate.islast and ai(a_ticker, syminfo.ticker)
    idx = ax(a_ticker, syminfo.ticker)
    x1  = ag(a_x1, idx)
    x2  = ag(a_x2, idx)
    line.set_xy1(myLine, bar_index - x1, high[x1])
    line.set_xy2(myLine, bar_index - x2, high)

Little improvement.
When calling a() on the last bar instead of barstate.isfirst, the runtime doesn't have to keep the arrays in memory on all the historical bars.

if barstate.islast
    a()
    if ai(a_ticker, syminfo.ticker)
        idx = ax(a_ticker, syminfo.ticker)
        x1  = ag(a_x1, idx)
        x2  = ag(a_x2, idx)
        line.set_xy1(myLine, bar_index - x1, high[x1])
        line.set_xy2(myLine, bar_index - x2, high)
