Indicators on Multi Time Frame

[SystemTrading]

I cannot seem to get this working properly. I am calculating an indicator off of the highs/lows of a second data series. I am using the following code...

LinearReg=LinReg(Highs[1],Length)[0];

When I input Highs[1] it seems to be interpreting it as 1 bar ago instead of accessing my second data stream. Am I doing this correctly?

I don't think it will work. You can only use BarsArray[1]. I recommend you just push this calculation over into BarsInProgress == 1 and do it via LinReg(High, Length)[0]. Then reference the value back in BarsInProgress == 0.

I've done that and no joy. I noticed something interesting. The following code gives me a plot, but has a 1 bar lag.

If (BarsInProgress==1)
LinearReg=LinReg(High,Length);
 
StrategyPlot(0).Value.Set(LinearReg)

The following code gives me no plot...

If (BarsInProgress==1)
{
LinearReg=LinReg(High,Length);
StrategyPlot(0).Value.Set(LinearReg)
}

This may provide the explaination. Does StrategyPlot run on secondary datastream?

Remember that StrategyPlot is provided with limited functionality. This may be one of its limitations.

I am surprised that this worked for you though: LinearReg=LinReg(High,Length);

I would suspect LinearReg to be a double and that you would need to actually set a value to it instead of a DataSeries. If you are using them as DataSeries maybe try changing it to double and doing LinearReg=LinReg(High,Length)[0]; and then set it to the StrategyPlot that way.
