On a non-standard chart — declared by constructing PineTS with an extended ticker, e.g. new PineTS(source, 'BTCUSDT;heikinashi', 'D', …) — syminfo.tickerid carries the chart-type suffix ("BINANCE:BTCUSDT;heikinashi"), matching TradingView's behavior of encoding the chart type into the ticker id. syminfo.ticker stays clean. ticker.standard(syminfo.tickerid) strips the modifier; passing the modified tickerid to request.security routes a chart-typed data request to the data source (see Ticker and Chart).
