Multiple Timeframe Question

Still on 6.5, I haven't yet transitioned. Should I move to 7 first?

With 6.5, multiseries strategies need to be designed so that the secondary series are smaller than the primary. This is how you have it currently structured.

Version 7 does not have this limitation and you can set the order of the series how you like. 15 minute can be your primary series and 30 minute your secondary. This gives you more flexibility and since there have been changes to multi series, version 7 transition may be the way to go.

Okay Ryan, thanks for the information. I'll transition over and see if I can get it working.

Thanks for all of your help

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but in the help file BarsArray is "a container in the script that holds all Bars objects added to the script. It's no different than a bucket of golf balls in your garage...... we can retrieve this Bars object later"

Okay, but when I now when I try this code I get an error

Close(BarsArray[1])[0]

Error: The name Close does not exist in the current context.

I want to retrieve the close of the secondary series, as this will be my longer period (hoping to fix the problem of it only looking at the one time series) Everything else using this barsarray format works except Close.

Thanks

This is accessed with:

Closes[1] //Secondary close series. Plug this into methods that are looking for a data series input
Closes[1][0] // Secondary close double value. The most recent secondary close.
