Multi time frame problem

[basanca]

I have some code where I have multiple timeframes. (60 minute and a 5 minute period)
I have a bool in place that when on the 60 min timeframe some conditions take place. This one goes to true. I want to use this bool in my 5 min period ( which is in the chart. The 60 min bool is triggered in the chart and will show the string "3"). But the bool wil only set the first period of 5 min @ true instead of all the 12 5 min periods. (12*5=60 ).

How can I get this to fill in all the 12 periods @ true.


thx

Hello basanca,
Welcome to the forum and I am happy to assist you.

Are you resetting the boolean value anywhere in your code.


Can you send a toy NinjaScript code* replicating the behavior to support[AT]ninjatrader[DOT]com

Please append Attn:Joydeep in the subject line of the email and give a reference of this thread in the body of the email.

I look forward to assisting you further.

*The "toy" just means something that is a stripped down version that isn't necessarily the whole logic. It makes things easier to rout out.

Hi Joydeep,

Yes I'm resetting the bool at the end of the code. I'll try to make the stripped down version.

Hello basanca,
Historical bars are calculated at the end of the bar. Thus the 12 bars 5 minute bars are processed before one 60 minute bar could be processed. If you reset the boolean value (to false) at the end of the first 5 minute bar then the subsequent 5 minute bars wont get updated. Please refer to our help guide here to know more about multi-series concepts

I now see what it does, it is indeed the reset of the bool after the 5 min period.
Will amend..
