Yearly Bars

[igork11]

I'm looking for a solution for Yearly Bars indicator which I can use as input series for another indicator.
Is there a ready solution? Please advise who knows. Thanks.

Welcome to our forums Igor - could you please clarify a bit more for us what you're looking to do? You can right now create a so called MultiSeries chart in NT, which could add yearly bars as well and then you could specify this to be used as Input Series for your indicators.

Yearly Bars

Bertrand,
I'm an option trader, very aggressive one. I buy when the end of the world is coming. So, I need visualize market levels for particular instruments when extreme moves are done. So, using previous YearlyBars I want calculate and visualized ATR and StdDev fixed levels lines for the current year on daily charts. I want to use this YearlyBar Indicator as input serias in Bollinger Band, Keltner Channel like indicators.
In the future I will like to have option expiration Monthly (not calendar month) bars Indicator as well.
I would greatly appreciate your advise how I can achieve my task.

Hello,

You can first Add() the yearly bar to the Initialize() method of your code:

		protected override void Initialize()
			{
				Add(PeriodType.Year, 1);	
			}

With this added, you can now get any value from that bars series by using BarsArray[1]

			protected override void OnBarUpdate()
			{

				double yearADX = ADX(BarsArray[1], 14)[0];
				
			}

I would suggest reading through the following link on multi-series indicators which covers a few key points on this type of script:
