Wizard & 2 TimeFrames

[saintalan]

Is it possible to access indicators from 2 or more different time frames?

Thanks

Hello Alan,

This is not possible in the strategy wizard. Unfortunately this requires working with code. There is a sample you can work from provided in the platform. Click Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Strategy > SampleMultiTimeFrame.

Hello Alan,

OK I have managed to make this work fairly satisfactory and have been using BarsArray.

Could you help explain this please?

From the example it appears that for the Primary you do not need to state BarsArray[0] as it assumes that by default however the only way I could make the following work is by using it.

With a second TimeFrame ADDed

if (MACD(11, 33, 24).Diff[0] > 0
&& Stochastics(3, 7, 1).D[0] < 25)
{
DrawDiamond("My diamond" + CurrentBar, false, 0, Low[0] + -10 * TickSize, Color.Lime);
}

It compiles OK but actions on both the Primary and added.

It may be possibly due to starting with Wizard, I dont know.

Thanks

Yes, that will refer to all series OnBarUpdate() You can enclose that within a specific BarsInProgress, to force within the context of one series.

if(BarsInProgress == 0)
{
if (MACD(11, 33, 24).Diff[0] > 0
&& Stochastics(3, 7, 1).D[0] < 25)
{
DrawDiamond("My diamond" + CurrentBar, false, 0, Low[0] + -10 * TickSize, Color.Lime);
}
}
