Custom DataSeries in Strategy

[astrolobe]

I need to create a custom dataseries object, based on the "primary bars" in a strategy. I need my dataseries to stay in sync with the primary bars for the strategy.
Previously, for an Indicator I used the sample code provided:
myDataSeries = new DataSeries(this);
Would the same code work in a strategy to achieve what I have described above?
Lastly, How could I do the same thing, except I would like my custom dataseries to stay in sync with the second or third Bars object?

Correct.
To sync to a secondary bar object see this reference sample: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/v...ead.php?t=3572

Josh, thanks for the solution.
In your strategy example you have:
secondarySeries = new DataSeries(SMA(BarsArray[1], 50));

Do I have to use some arbitary Indicator, or could I just use the BarsArray[1]?
Also, I am just curious...why are we not able to access the BarsArray property in the Initialize?

You should use an arbitrary indicator.
There are probably some under-the-hood design reasons for why BarsArray is not accessible in the Initialize() method.
