How to get daily OHLC info from intraday bar

[mandm]

At the first bar of a new session(5min chart), I would like to read the OHLC information (daily) of the previous 5 days.

Can I use Bars.GetDayBar(1).High (for the high of the previous day)
Bars.GetDayBar(2).High (for the high of two days ago)
Bars.GetDayBar(3).High (for the high of three days ago)
...

Similarly for other daily data.

Thanks

Hello mandm,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the forums!

Yes, the GetDayBar method will provide that data based on the 5 minute chart data and session template employed. Reference: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...?getdaybar.htm

You will also want to perform a check to ensure that you have enough data loaded before accessing the GetDayBar method, keep in mind you are creating day bars from the charts 5 minute bars.

Does this mean BarsArray[1] is referencing the day bars?

Hello,

Thanks for your post.

The Bars.GetDayBars() method would only work with the charts data series (BarsArray[0]).

What is the proper way to perform a check to ensure there is enough data loaded?

Hello,

Thanks for your post.

You must check for a null reference since null is returned if there is insufficient intraday data to build a trading day bar.

Example from the helpguide:

if (Bars.GetDayBar(1) != null)
Print("The prior trading day's close is: " + Bars.GetDayBar(1).Close.ToString());
