Input Series of An Indicator

[dkrumholz]

Nevermind - I think I found the answer in the Multi-Time Frame and Instrument docs. I need to add another bars object in the initialize method. Thanks!

If I have a chart with multiple dataseries, how would I programatically tell my indicator that it should appear on my second Input Series? I think I have found code examples for specifying the dataseries that an indicator applies to when adding it to a stratgey, but how can I tell the indicator to do a draw action on my second dataseries as opposed to the first dataseries?

from help guide dataseries

double value = SMA(BarsArray[1],20)[0];

Draw Arrow on Second Timeframe

I want a chart with the same instrument on two different timeframes. I want my indicator to draw arrows on the second time frame.

I can add the second timeframe to the chart interactivly using the chart's Data Series selection and I can add an indicator and interactively, using the indicators Data - Input series property, get arrows displayed on the second timeframe.

The problem is - how to accomplish adding the second timeframe and drawing the arrows programatically on the second timeframe bars without the interactive steps.

Given a chart with an instrument and its Data Series, can I add an indicator that programtically adds the second timeframe and draws arrows over the second set of bars?

I thought it could be done by adding the second series in the initialize method and then testing BarsInProgress for my drawing. That doesn't seem to work.

Hello,

Thanks for the note.

What you would need to do is draw the objects in the BarsInProgress == 0. But reference the values you want to draw from from the secondary series.

SMA(BarsArray[1], 14);

Use the above example to get the bars objects of the secondary series and use its value instead to draw at.


Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Can I display the second series bars on the chart programatically or must I add it interactively?

Hello,

Unfortunately no supported method for this.
