Plot multi-timeframe in one chart

[siroki]

Hi,

I'm using a 1-min stock chart. In my script I have added a second time-frame, namely the daily. I would like to see the ATR of the daily-timeframe on the 1min chart. Is this possible?

I have added this in the Initialize():

Add(PeriodType.Day, 1);

Add(ATR(Closes[1],5));
ATR(Closes[1],5).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Black;
ATR(Closes[1],5).Plots[0].Pen.Width = 1;

So I would think the Closes[1] would mean I'm talking to the first added timeframe, namely the daily. But it still shows the 1min values.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi siroki, the Add() method would be meant to add complete indicators for display in strategies. You could not use this way in an indicator or pass a BarsArray to work on in. What you could do is Add in the daily and then calculate the ATR value in the OnBarUpdate in your 1 min chart.

So for example -

if (BarsInProgress == 0 && (CurrentBars[0] > 0 && CurrentBars[1] > 0))
Plot0.Set(ATR(BarsArray[1], 14)[0]);

Thanks for your reply. I'll give it a try.

Awesome, it works. Didn't get the plot to work because I'm not fully familiar with custom adding plots and adding indicators to it. But I want to perform calculcations with it anyway, so for now i'm happy.
