Multi-TimeFrame in Ver 7

Hi Ryan,

Your file was very useful.
I think I've located the problem in my strategy being the value I assign to the currentBar test. (72000)

Using 2000 as currentBar value allows me to get a value for 1period ATR.

If I am using a 1minute strategy that requires at least 50 days lookback to create the ATR50 wouldn't i need at least 24*60*50 minute bars as a minimum?

Almost there I think..

Thanks for your patience

Yes, that's the general idea. You don't want to access the secondary series until enough days have developed. If you're referencing index [0], then this is really only the first days worth of 1 minute bars. In your case 1440 should do it.

If you have calculations that require a certain number of bars to calculate for the secondary series, you can access this series' CurrentBar value directly with CurrentBars. Adding this check ensures the most accuracy as you will get values for your indicator even if the required # of bars hasn't elapsed.

if (CurrentBar < 1441 || CurrentBars[1] < 50)
return;
