Multi-Time Frame script

[doron]

hi

i develop indicator in in NT8 b6

and have problem to work with multiple time frame
it looks that secondary Series is not generated

my code looks like this

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
Description = @"Enter the description for your new custom Indicator here.";
Name = "Test";
// bla bla
}
else if (State == State.Configure)
{

AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Minute, 2);
}
}


protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (BarsInProgress == 1)
{
chartBars1 = ChartControl.BarsArray[1];

}

}

while in indicator level i defined :
ChartBars chartBars1;

i get message : Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method on bar 2: You are accessing an index with a value that is invalid since it is out-of-range. as a result of command
chartBars1 = ChartControl.BarsArray[1];
in BarsArray was only one series the primary bars of the chart


what am i missing ?

Hello Doron,

Thank you for your post.

A ChartBars object will ONLY exist should the hosting NinjaScript type be loaded through a Chart. For example, a Strategy would have access to a ChartBars property when running on a Chart, but would NOT when loaded through the Strategies Grid or Strategy analyzer.
Taken from ChartBars: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG.../chartbars.htm

So AddDataSeries() will not add a bar series through the chart (UI), which means ChartBars would not have any detail on the secondary series.

What are you looking to achieve with the ChartBars from a secondary series?

hi

i need "access" from my indicator to Time and volume high and low of each bar of the secondary series
how that can be done

hi

just found that :

double SecondaryClose = Closes[1][0];

DateTime SecondaryTime = Times[1][0];

probably works

Closes instead of Close , Times instead of Time
