Relative Multi-Time Frame

[Lost Trader]

I tried to put this in the Initialize():
Add(PeriodType.Volume, 7*Bars.Period.Value );
because I need a fixed relationship to the basic trading chart.

It compiles just fine, but attempting to run causes an error.
So how do I get a 2nd time frame always based off the original time frame?

Is there another routine for initializing where the Bars are valid?

Hello LostTrader,

Unfortunately this is not supported. As the message indicates, you don't have access to the bars series within the Initialize() method.

So how do I define a time frame relative to the underlying?

Are you fixing this in NT7?

Alternately, how do I reference the input parameter from that starting panel?

Hi Losttrader,

There is no way to do exactly what you want. If you want to change the secondary bar series you have to hard code it.

At this time there are no plans to change this with version 7.
