CountIf in Multi-Series Environment

[steveobowen]

Hello Support Forum,

I know CountIf is restricted from use in a multi-series environment, but can it be used in the object when the BarsInProgress == 0? I am trying to use it on the base chart to count the number of up/down bars in pullbacks.

My code compiles OK, but it does not execute as expected. It fails when counting the up bars in a pull up.

My base chart is a tick chart. I have added 3 bars objects: 1 minute, 3 minute, 9 minute. I am try to execute the CountIf code on the tick chart.

If I execute the CountIf on the base tick chart. will this not violate the restriction of CountIf use in a multi-series environment?

Any help will be appreciated. Thaniks

Hello steveobowen,

Thanks for the note.

The CountIf method will not work as expected when used in multi-instrument or multi-time frame instances.

You can try and use a looping function like for() loop to be able to check multiple previous bars.

Also make sure that when using multi-time frame series that you syncronize the DataSeries object(s). See the following forum post for a sample.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
