Muli-time-frame and dataseries

[neb1998]

I am trying to sync up a dataseries object with a second time frame object....

d2SeriesOpen = new DataSeries(SMA(Open(BarsArray[1],20)));

This code is not working as it gives me an error " The Name open does not exist in the current context"

I am trying to just take the SMA of the close and open of my second data time frame.

New at this...trying to convert our strategies from MC to ninja.

You will not be able to sync it to Open(BarsArray[1]) like that. If you want the open series of the secondary Bars object you would instead use Opens[1] where the [] is the Bars index you want to use.

Another question. I have a system that trades on 15 min bars and on 5 min bars. The 5 min bars being data 2 (index 1). When i am programming within the barsinprogress ==0 method does this mean that the evaluations below this method are only being computed on the 15 min bars even if Calculateonbarclose=false?

I would like to trade on the 15 min bars but i also would like to be able to simulate backtesting at lib=1 like in multicharts. The 5 min bar is a secondary indicator. I have a few indicators on the 15 min bars, and a few on the 5 min bars, when they all are true i want the order to execute.

in MC i would have done something like

if close > close[1] then condition 1=1 else condition1=0;
if blah blah = blah blah then condition2=1 else condition2=0;
etc etc etc

Then a final order entry of if condition 1 and condition 2 and etc etc etc then enterlong()

Is this possible in c#, maybe a hint in the right direction would help a lot!

I am still trying to figure out where to put the code or how its affected with the barsinprogress method being called with multitime frame systems as well. Like if i reference a barsarray number of index 2 but that code is within the barsinprogress==0 method will it still calculate correctly?

I know there is a lot of questions here, just trying to get our first system converted from MC so i can go LIVE.

neb1998, if you are running with CalculateOnBarClose = false, each data series will show the most recent close at the same time. The difference is in other data points of the bar.

When you are in the BarsInProgress == 0, then everything you are dealing with is 15 minute data. When you are working in BIP == 1, then everything will be based off of the 5 minute data.

Please take a look at the SampleMultiTimeFrame sample for additional information.
