DataSeries in Multiple Bars Script

[lee612801]

Hello,

I am trying to take the SMA of the closes within a multiple bars script I'm working. I found a previous example from the forum for exactly this. So I copied this and put it in:

#region Variables

private DataSeries ds1;

#endregion

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add("SHY", PeriodType.Minute, 1);
CalculateOnBarClose = false;

ds1 = new DataSeries(this);
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if(BarsInProgress == 0)
{
ds1.Set(Closes[0][0] / Closes[1][0]);
Value.Set(SMA(ds1, 14)[0]);
}

{ Do something.....

)

}

But when I go to compile, I keep getting an error stating ds1 and Value are not in the current context. I will check tonight, but I believe it compiles as long as I don't have the Value.Set(SMA(ds1, 14)[0]); included. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Regards,

Lee

Hello,

I will be happy to take a look at this,

In the area where you have

{ Do something.....

)

Is that how the script actually is or was this information you had omitted? If this is how the script actually is this would likely be a part of the problem.

Can you attach the script for me to look at?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hi Jesse,

Thank you for the reply. The Do something... was just my placeholder for the actual script. I don't have the full code at this time. The full script works fine without the added dataseries. I see if I can get it tonight if possible.

Hi Jesse,

I was able to get it to work by removing the Value.Set and adding a variable as follows:

#region Variables

private DataSeries ds1;
private double variable1;

#endregion

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add("SHY", PeriodType.Minute, 1);
CalculateOnBarClose = false;

ds1 = new DataSeries(this);
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if(BarsInProgress == 0)
{
ds1.Set(Closes[0][0] / Closes[1][0]);
variable1 = (SMA(ds1, 14)[0]);
}

{ Do something.....

)

}


Now I just want to add a plot of variable1 on a second panel. What would be the best way to do this?

Thanks,

Lee
