Bar index, mult time frame

[GKonheiser]

having a few issues with bar index for multi time frame strategy.

If I have 2 time frames, 100 Tick (index 0) and 50 Tick (index 1) with CalculateOnBarClose = True and I say:

If(BarsInProgess == 1)
{
if(Lows[0][0] < Lows[1][0])
{
x=1
}

}

Am I correct in thinking that that say if the low of the most recently CLOSED 100 Tick bar is less then the most recently closed 50 Tick Bar?

If that is the case how would you reference the current 100 tick bar that is currently being formed?

I am asking as I have some logic that is not working as I thought.

Hello GKonheiser,

To reference the bar being formed, you would need to have the script running with calculate on bar close set to false and be in real time data.

If the script is calculate on bar close true, the bars array object will update when the bar closes. The same is true for historical which only contains end of bar information anyway.

With calculate on bar close false, in real time Close[0] refers to the currently building bar.

Below is a link to the help guide on Multi-Time Frame & Instruments. Please see the section 'How Bar Data is Referenced'.
