Muti TimeFrame Indictor

[GKonheiser]

I've written a short indicator to draw a line 2 Standard Deviations form the 1 Tick data, regardless of what the primary time frame is. But for some reason despite the fact I have set the calculations to always use 1 Tick Data it is using the Primary Bars series and I cant figure out why??

Thanks in advance for any help.

Here is the code:-

  {
        #region Variables
        	private double sndDev;
            private int myInput0 = 1; // Default setting for MyInput0
			private int tBIP; //  tick bars BIP Series variable
       
        #endregion

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
			Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Black), PlotStyle.Line, "Mean"));
			Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Red), PlotStyle.Line, "+2Std"));
			Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Red), PlotStyle.Line, "-2Std"));
			Add(PeriodType.Tick, 1); // add 1 Tick data series
			
            Overlay				= true;
			
			// sets 1 Tick bars in Progress series
			if(BarsPeriod.Id == PeriodType.Tick && BarsPeriod.BasePeriodValue == 1)
			{
				tBIP = 0;
			}
			else
				tBIP = 1;	
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
        /// </summary>
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
			if( CurrentBars[tBIP] < sDPeriod)
				return;
			
			if( BarsInProgress == tBIP ); // always use 1 tick data for calculations
			{
				sndDev = StdDev( Closes[tBIP], sDPeriod )[0];
				Values[0].Set( SMA( Closes[tBIP], sDPeriod )[0] );
				Values[1].Set( SMA( Closes[tBIP], sDPeriod  )[0] + 2*sndDev );
				Values[2].Set( SMA( Closes[tBIP], sDPeriod  )[0] - 2*sndDev );
			}
        }

        #region Properties
        [Browsable(false)]	// this line prevents the data series from being displayed in the indicator properties dialog, do not remove
        [XmlIgnore()]		// this line ensures that the indicator can be saved/recovered as part of a chart template, do not remove
        public DataSeries Plot0
        {
            get { return Values[0]; }
        }

		private int sDPeriod;
        [Description("")]
        [GridCategory("Parameters")]
        public int SDPeriod
        {
            get { return sDPeriod; }
            set { sDPeriod = Math.Max(1, value); }
        }
        #endregion
    }

Hello GKonheiser,

Thank you for your note.

This is due to the nature of the Sync data for the Plots and Set()

These items are only updated by the primary series. You are only accessing the data for the tick series and then assigning those values to the Plot series.

When the primary bar updates for the next bar then these will get updated to the new values.

You cannot change the plotting of the Plot series to another time-frame other than primary

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
