Need method to apply RSI to a series of values that aren't in sync by number of bars

[philli4093]

I am looking to be able to apply the RSI function to a customer data series.
This series will not be updated on each bar but updated on a variable number of bars between updates. it appears the idataseries object will require each bar to store a value and thus the RSI being applied would not calculate correctly.

Is there a way to use the existing functions to do this?
or should I create me own array and rsi function to apply to the array.

Any suggestions would be great!

Hello,

Thanks for the forum post.

Unfortunately everything in NinjaTrader runs off data series objects and in charting you can only display the number of points of calculations that you have bars.

You can add in multi series programming and bring in a smaller time frame to calculate from, will this work for you or does not work for you?

Such as, running indicator on 5 min bars but bringing in a 1 min series and then calculating RSI on the 1 minute bars would get you 5 points per 5 minute bar.

I look forward to assisting you further.
