Best way to calculate look up 'where I am' in a multi timeframe case

[balancenv]

In a multi timeframe case, what is the best/efficient way to look up 'which bar I am in' from one timeframe to another?

Let's say I am in BarArray[1] and wants to find which bar I am in, in BarArray[0]'s 'space',
I know it can be done as

BarArray[0].GetBar(Time[0])

My question is, is this the best way, as I am doing a lots of this, among multiple timeframes, back and force...

Hello,

You would want to use CurrentBars[]

This can also be used to ensure enough bars have been loaded across all series so that you don't get out of bounds errors.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks for the reply, but you misunderstood my question.
I am not talking about 'right now', I am talking about
for any given bar in 5 min time frame, how would I calculate it's place in 2-min timeframe?

Hello,

If that is the case then yes, this will be the simplest way to obtain this data. Sorry for the confusion, when I saw you were using Time[0] I assumed you just wanted to get the most current bar.
