Referencing 15min indicators and executing tick by tick

[Aussiemike]

Hi,

I'm trying to exit a strategy on the tick that it crosses the middle boll in say 15min bars.

I tried adding 1min and tick data series, but i seem to be having trouble moving back and forth between the data series at an upper level.

Is there a way to reference a specific data series in an indicator?

Say Bollinger(2, 14).Middle[0](PeriodType.Minute,15)

Then i could put the whole condition into tick by tick, and still use the 15min boll bands, and not tick boll bands...

I suppose on a similar note, i am using Close[0] this intrabar should be the last tick right? Could the close also specifically link to a data series without linking the rest of the command?


Cheers

Is this in the Strategy Analyzer?

Yes it's strategy analyser.

I've found BarsArrays, so i have 15min data as '0' and add tick data as '1'

I put this under bars in progress = 1, and the BarsArray[0] picks up the 15min data to find the boll middle

if ((Close[0] <= Bollinger(BarsArray[0],2,14).Middle[0])

That looks correct. What is the issue then?

That compares the value of the Close in BarsArray[1] to the Bolli in BarsArray[0].

The issue was i only just found it after i posted. Had been stuck on it for ages :-)

i stumbled across it looking into the options for the close and found closes which led me to the arrays
