Calculating an indicator on a multi-time frame

[egan857]

Hi, my primary timeframe is a minute bar on the stock and my secondary timeframe is the minute bar on another stock (DIA). Is there any way to calculate an indicator like ADX on the secondary timeframe?

It looks like the answer is going to involve IDataSeries somehow, but I don't get how to associate a set of closing bar prices from one data series to an IDataSeries variable. Any help would be appreciated.

egan857,

Yes, your understanding is correct.

Indicators usually have an overloaded method where you can call them and pass a data series to them

For example : ADX(Closes[1], 14)[0] would be the ADX of the secondary series Close prices.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

Oh! That's so much simpler than I thought it would be. It works great. Thanks!
