Median of different time period

I can't seem to find a way to the get the Median of a different time frame in a strategy. I know there is a way :P Can someone please point me in the right direction. Variable0 works by itself, its the Median of the other 2 time frames that I want to add.

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(PeriodType.Minute, 60); // ON CHART
Add(PeriodType.Minute, 20); // ON CHART
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
Variable0 = SMA(Median, 200)[0];
Variable1 = SMA(BarsArray[1].Median, 200)[0];
Variable2 = SMA(BarsArray[2].Median, 200)[0];
}

Are you getting any errors? If so, what are they?

The code doesn't work, I can't actually compile using BarsArray[1].Median

I can't seem to find a way to use Median with any form of BarsArray[1] etc. I've tried all sorts of combinations.

Variable0 = SMA(Median, 200)[0]; works
Variable0 = SMA(Median[1], 200)[0]; doesn't work
Variable0 = SMA(BarsArray[1].Median, 200)[0]; doesn't work
Variable0 = SMA(Median(1), 200)[0]; doesn't work

Any other ideas?

What is the error message when you try to compile?

Strategy\BreakOut.cs 'NinjaTrader.Data.Bars' does not contain a definition for 'Median' and no extension method 'Median' accepting a first argument of type 'NinjaTrader.Data.Bars' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) CS1061 - click for info 50 36

I've got the Median plotted on the charts as a 20min, my indicator works over 60 min, so I just want to determine the price position compared to the SMA median over 20 minutes.

Try

Variable0 = SMA(Median[COLOR=Red][B]s[/B][/COLOR][1], 200)[0];

Hi Happypappy,

Thank you for posting and thank you Koganam for answering.

Yes, using Medians should resolve the error message.
