Strategic timeframe minimum value

[kucharek]

Hi,

I have added second time frame to my strategy - so called Strategic Time Frame. It can be minute TF or day TF. Please find below some code to illustrate this.

private bool 	tF_D = true;
private int 	tF_strategic = 5;

...

// TF dla decyzji strategicznej - BarsArray[1]
if (tF_D) {Add(PeriodType.Day, tF_strategic);}
if (!tF_D) {Add(PeriodType.Minute, tF_strategic);}	

...

[Description("Okres dla TF strategiczny")]
[GridCategory("Parametry - Ogolne")]
[Gui.Design.DisplayName ("\t\t\tTF strategiczny")]
public int TF_strategic
        {
            get { return tF_strategic; }
            set { tF_strategic = Math.Max(1, value); }
        }

As you can see I have minimum value for tF_strategic set to "1". I would like to change it to have minimum value as a time frame which I choose in Backtest window in Data series.

Examle: if I choose 240 minutes in Data series I shall be unable to set strategic timeframe to less than 240 minutes.

I assume that I have to change 1 to something else that represent chosen data series.

Please support.

Hi kucharek,

Unfortunately you cannot use BarsPeriod as a minimum value. It's just not available where you would need to specify it. The earliest you could access bar properties is OnBarUpdate().
