Secondary Bar Object DataSeries

[futurenets]

have primary 60min bar object and secondary daily bar object.

is there a recommended way to reference previous daily bar object [1] and possibly [2] & [3] (and any user defined dataseries based on the secondary bar series)?

I understand primary dataseries [1] (at say 11:00) also has corresponding secondary dataseries [1] (at say 11:00) but this isn't previous day unless it copies previous value until new day and a new series element is added?

so this would solve how to access [1] but not [2] & [3].

Do I need to write code for this?

Hello,

Thank you for your note.

When multiple data series are used, the BarsInProgress index will let you know what data you are accessing and which series OnBarUpdate is processing.

For example in OnBarUpdate():

if (BarsInProgress == 0)
{
// the primary data series is processing
}
if (BarsInProgress == 1)
{
// the secondary series is processing
}

Below is a link to BarsInProgress.

Data is access using the BarsInProgress index you want data from.
For example if we want the close price of the secondary data series.
Closes[1][0].
Closes[BarsInProgress index][bars ago value]

Below is a link to Closes.

Lets say when the secondary series is processing we want the close price of the primary data series from 1 bar ago.

if (BarsInProgress == 1)
{
Print(Closes[0][1]);
}

ok thanks

a bit difficult to explain but here goes ...

the attached image is the output from the attached indicator.

it shows how I can reference Closes[0] & Closes[1] barsago - no problem.

but if I add my own DataSeries to store data about the Secondary and then want to reference this "barsago" it will be sync'd with the primary?

e.g. I'm trying to have a DataSeries where value [2] would correspond to value [2] of the secondary bar object.

hope that makes sense?

futurenets, per default that would be primary, yes. You can however sync to any other series you added, here's an example -
