Syntax of BarsArray with LowestBar() method

[Sidhartha]

Hi Guys, One for Josh maybe...

Can I use the BarsArray[] call within the context of the LowestBar() Method...

Say I have two dataseries and I want to access LowestBar(Low,10) but for the dataseries represented by BarsInProgress==0 but when the code is invoked by a call from BarsInProgress==0. Is this possible...? If so, what's the syntax...??

Obviously it's easy for indicators as described in your example CCI(BarsArray[2],20)... or indeed for open, high, low close etc... in the syntax Low[0][20].... but is it possible to do this with methods such as LowestBar()...??

Many Thanks

Why would:

if (BarsInProgress == 0) Print(LowestBar(Low, 10));

not work?

Hi Ray,

That would work except for this,

I'm executing into a 1 min bar dataseries (BarsInProgress==1)... my primary series is, say, 10 min bars.

When I place an entry order into the 1 min bar dataseries, I then place a stop via OnOrderUpdate()... and I want this stop price to be based off a price in the primary dataseries (10 min). However, when OnOrderUpdate() gets called in this context BarsInProgress==1 so somehow I have to access the primary data series when BarsInProgress==1 using the LowestBar() method...

Does that makes sense...?

Try this and see if it works.

if (BarsInProgress == 1) Print(LowestBar(Lows[0], 10));

Got it. Great Ray. All working now. Thanks.

Ray, while I've got you... one more question.

Is it possible to apply indicators to dataseries that you add to a strategy. For example, in this case, if my primary is 10 min bars, and I've added 1 mins bars via Add()... can I think apply, say, some SMA's to the 1 min bar dataseries and use those as part of my entry & exit methodology...??

Cheers

Sorry, losing my mind.
