Code using different PrimaryDataSeries

[sandman]

Hi.
A coding question for NT7. I have a 5Min chart which I sometimes switch to 15Min and back. Depending on which of the two timeframes is in use I want a certain EMA to show. Let's say when I am using the 5min chart I want to see an EMA40, when I switch it to 15Min I do not want to see the EMA40 but an EMA80. Is there a way to put this into the code? Perhaps something like this:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()

if (PrimaryDataSeries=5min)
{
show EMA 40
remove EMA80
}

else if (PrimaryDataSeries=15min)
{
show EMA 80
remove EMA40
}

My question is how to express the parts in bold in correct coding language.

Hello sandman,

Yes, this is possible.

The BarsPeriod holds information about the bars object.

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/barsperiod.htm

For example
if (BarsPeriod.Id == PeriodType.Minute && BarsPeriod.Value == 5)
{
Value.Set( EMA(40)[0] );
}

else if (BarsPeriod.Id == PeriodType.Minute && BarsPeriod.Value == 15)
{
Value.Set( EMA(80)[0] );
}

You could choose to have two plots and set the Values instead, but I think if only one plot line is going to show, you could just use the one plot.
