Confirmation by a slower Timeframe

[laocoon]

Hello Brett

Sorry to bump this old thread again, but I'm having trouble with a syntax issue regarding a secondary series:
I'm using the standard BidAskHistVolume indicator in a Multi-Timeframe & Multi-Instrument strategy.

The two variables from the indicator I'm using are: buy / sell

buy = buys;
sell = sells;
buys = 0;
sells = 0;

In a Single-Timeframe strategy, the following snippet works fine:

if (buy > sell && my conditions here) etc

But in a Multi-Timeframe Strategy, I'm not sure about the correct syntax if I want to use the buys/sells from the secondary series. I've tried

if(buy Closes[1] > sell Closes[1])

but it won't compile.

I would really appreciate it if you could show me the correct syntax of the above snippet.

Thanks a lot.

if(buy Closes[1] > sell Closes[1])

but it won't compile.

This isn't compiling because from the looks of it buy and sell are ints and Closes[1] is a data series

your if statement reads

if(someInt DataSeries > someotherInt DataSeries)

I may need some further clarification on your end goal but my guess is that this can be solved by isolating the condition to a different BIP

for example

if(BarsInProgress == 1)
  if(buy < sell)
    //do something

Please see this for more information on using BIP: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...nstruments.htm

Hello Lance,

Thanks for your reply. My end goal here is very easy: I'm using the standard Ninja BidAskHist Volume indicator on a Secondary Series as a trigger for a trading signal in a Primary Series.As you highlighted, BIP is the solution to the problem here. Will work further on this and let you know how it goes. Thanks again for your help.
