Multi-Time Frame Scripts

I don't appear to be making any progress with this question.

Does it not make sense?

if CurrentBars[0] = 24

what's in

Closes[1][1]
Closes[1][2]
Closes[1][3]
etc.

if I have 60 min primary and 1 day secondary

Futurenets,

If we have 24 bars for the primary at being 60 then we have only 1 day for our secondary or 1 bar

So -
Closes[1][0] - Good
Closes[1][1] - Out of Index
Closes[1][2] - Out of Index

If we have 48 bars -

Closes[1][0] - Good
Closes[1][1] - Good
Closes[1][2] - Out of Index

thank you. one final question:

if primary is 365 daily bars and secondary if 5 minute bars

if there aren't enough 5 minute bars in history what will be the max Count and will this apply to both bar objects?

Hello Futurenets,

The secondary bar object will adopt the settings of the primary instrument that the script is attached to.

If you are using 365 days for your primary then the all other data series objects will adopt this as well.

ok thanks but what if there aren't enough intraday bars ?

[NinjaTrader_CalH]

Futurenets,

Then you will run into an Out of Index error, same as before.

If you want the max count for the secondary bars you can get this value by using BarsArray[0].Count

The 0 can be replaced by any other data series you have added to the script as an index value

thank you Cal
