BarArray and BarsInProgress...Days to Load effect on Strategies

[birdog]

Hey there...

If I use a primary SMA chart as a example and 2 EMA BarArrays as filters (so I would have 3 indexes), do I have to be sure I load each Strategy in the Strategies tab with sufficient "Days to Load" in order to get values for the 2 other EMAs? Or can I just use the standard 5 Days to Load and the BarArrays will retrieve the data they need no matter what amount of days to load I put?

Here is basically what I have:

Index 0 (primary is range bars so 5 days are plenty here in my mind)...
Index 1 (this is daily bars EMA)
Index 2 (this is weekly bars EMA)

For the same of this thread, let's just say the fast on all of them is 18 and the slow is 40 for the SMAs and EMAs...

Thanks a bunch!!!

Hello Greg,
If you try changing the "Load data based on" parameter from the Data Series window to "Bars", then are you able to initialize the code correctly. This way, you may load 40 bars for the weekly series, without pulling equivalent minute bars.

Joy,

Ok...how would I do that when loading based only in the Strategies Tab as well (no charts)? ...don't see that as a option there...sorry, just can not find it...

Hello Greg,
Unfortunately the strategies tab is tied to days only.

Hey Joy...could you recommend they add it to the Strategies Tab (there would be benefit there right...system resources, faster to load, etc etc etc)?
