MultiTimeFrame Comparison

[Simple]

Hi :

I will appreciate if someone could help in this regard

Using the Stochastic Indicator in the Ninja Trader , How could I compare % K value of a 200 Tick chart with that of 600 tick chart.
When I say compare i would like to compare whether both are rising or falling at a given time . Say for example from bar[1] to bar [0]
I want to do this in a multi Time Frame Strategy.


Thank You

Hello Simple,

You may use the Add() method to add another Time Frame Series in your script to have the Multi Time Frame comparison that you are looking for.

Once added in you may then use the BarsArray object to get the Stochastics value that you are looking for.

For example:
protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(PeriodType.Tick, 600);
}


Then in OnBarUpdate() you may use the BarsArray[1] to reference the 600 Tick Series.

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Ignore bar update events for the supplementary Bars object added above
if (BarsInProgress == 1)
return;
if (Rising(Stochastics(BarsArray[1], 3, 14, 7).K) && Rising(Stochastics( 3, 14, 7).K) )
// Do something

}

Here is a good Help Guide article that will go over this in more detail that you may view.

The Rising() method will check to see if the current value is greater than the previous value automatically for you.
