Referencing indicator values of same contract different timeframe

[wintermelon]

Hello,

I am writing an indicator that is run on a 1-min chart.

I would like to access the Swing indicator values on the 5-min chart of the same contract.

For example, in
Swing(IDataSeries input, int strength).SwingHigh[int barsAgo] or
Swing(IDataSeries input, int strength).SwingLow[int barsAgo],

how do I set the input series to be the 5-min series of the same contract even though my indicator is running on the 1-min chart?

Thanks.

wintermelon, you would Add() in the needed 5 minute series - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...ghlightsub=Add

And then call your Swing indicator on the respective BarsArray instead -

That's exactly what I needed. Thanks Bertrand!

Hi Bertrand,

On a related question. When I call the Swing indicator function in my custom indicator, if my custom indicator has CalculateOnBarClose = false in the initialize function, does that mean that the Swing indicator will 'inherit' that setting?

or will the Swing indicator still default to COBC = true? If so, how do I programmatically make it COBC = false?

Yes, the Swing indicator you call does not have anything coded in for CalculateOnBarClose, so would take the UI setting. If you call in a script then with CalculateOnBarClose = false context it would use that as well.
