StringSeries

[kaywai]

Hi,

Does a StringSeries need to have a variable for every bar update or can data be added to the dataseries only when a condition is true?

Kay, for DataSeries all values for each barupdate index should be set, as otherwise you could run into exceptions accessing them - you can just set a dummmy value and then filter for this when working with the series later.

Hi Bertrand,

Understood. But it is an option that is available, right?

For example, if you look at the attached chart, if i put a condition to it and at the end of set A, i update the StringSeries, and at the end of set B, i update the StringSeries etc....i should be able to call set D (if we assume A, B, C and D is already included in the StringSeries) and call it as StringSeries[1]?

Correct, but for the intermediate values you should still set a data series value even if it's a dummy.
