So near yet so far .......Higher Timeframe

[skiguy]

On a 1 minute chart I want to plot the high and low of the last completed 30 minute bar.

I have successfully plotted SMA/EMA of a higher timeframe using:

Add(PeriodType.Minute, 5); // Adds a 5 MINUTE Bars object
....

HigherLongerEMA.Set(SMA(BarsArray[1],longerperiod)[0]);


for example.

However when I try to plot the 30 min High and Low, no matter what I try I cannot get anything to work.

I even tried an SMA for 1 period for example adding High and got the 2many arguments error.

Can someone please point out a simple fix.

Just the same way. If you want to get the lowest low & highest high of the secondary series over the last 20 bars (this period is of the secondary series):

double lowestLow = MIN(Lows[1], 20)[0];
double highestHigh = MAX(Highs[1], 20)[0];

Hello skiguy,

Thank you for your post.

You could add a 30 minute bar series and just call Highs and Lows for the barsInProgress. If the 30 minute was the only added series you would use Highs[1][0] and Lows[1][0]. For information on multiple series in your code please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...nstruments.htm

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