Get data from another timeframe without adding new DataSerie

[fx.practic]

Hello.

Tell, me please, is there any way to get data from anоther timeframe without adding this timeframe?

For example, I want put my indicator on 1 min chart, but for calculations I need daly data over 4 years.

Thanks.

Data must come from somewhere. If you want data from the daily chart, then you need to add the necessary data stream, so the answer to your question is "no".

Edit: For the special case of daily bars, however, you can use the GetDayBar() method or the PriorDayOHLC() class.

Hello.

Tell, me please, is there any way to get data from another time frame without adding this time frame?

For example, I want put my indicator on 1 min chart, but for calculations I need daily data over 4 years.

Actually in this case you can compute the daily data from your 1 minute data. Each day equals 1440 minutes.
Just remember that you still need to load this data to a chart and bars request should be 4 (years) * 365(days) * 1440 (min)
Or a better way is to calculate this number in advance and just use it.
What ever the calculation is on so much data it won't change in one or even 10 days.

Thank you, koganam and Baruch!

Now I exactly know what to do.

I will make strategy, that write daly prices to file, and my indicator will read daly data from that file in Initialise().

Why I don't want to add second DataSeries on chart and to load 4 years (or more) of 1 min data:
1) I haven't 4 years 1 min history
2) Speed of chart loading and chart calculations.
