Multi-Time Frame Indicator in Market Analyzer

[tony900hwk]

I was trying to have the value from one of my multi-time frame indicators show up in a market analyzer column but the value of the indicator would not display. I created a test indicator using the wizard to see if I could just get a 1 to show up in the market analyzer. This worked successfully, but when I add the line "Add(PeriodType.Day, 1);" to Initialize() the value displayed in the market analyzer is now 0. I have the main data series set to 60 min data. Is it possible make this work? The code below produces a 0 in the indicator column when the main data series set to 60 min.

protected override void Initialize()
{
    Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "Plot0"));
    Add(PeriodType.Day, 1);
    Overlay = true;
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    Plot0.Set(1);
}

Hello,

Thanks for your note.

Can you please confirm that you can in fact pull up daily data for this instrument.

As if the daily data cannot be loaded for all data series added the indicator will not plot.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Yes I do have daily data. I'm using $USDCHF with gain and ninja servers.

Hello,

First thing that needs added is a bar check to make sure you have enough bars. This is important for daily data.

if(CurrentBars[0] < 5 && CurrentBars[1] < 5)
return;

Right before you Plot0.Set(1);

Of course, thanks. I forgot to look in the log, the error message there always reminds me to add that line in. That also helped me understand what was happening with my original indicator. I simply needed to increase the "# of bars to look back" for my original indicator, I didn't have enough data loaded. I guess my confusion was in that they worked fine on my chart but not in the Market Analyzer.

Thanks again for the help and the extremely quick responses. I really appreciate it and I did also want to say that the support here is First Class.
