Add(PeriodType.Tick, 1) ;

[alpha_bet]

Looking for granularity on entry on say a 5 minute bar and adding the tick component within a 5 minute bar as below -

Add(PeriodType.Tick, 1) ;

But how can this be used if you want the difference between the two - something like

Var MyVal = Close(0) - (PeriodType.Tick,1) ;

without errors!


Thanks

Hello alpha_bet,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the forums!

When adding a dataseries you are creating a multitimeframe strategy and to reference a dataseries requires using an added index. Please review this section of the helpguide as it is critical to understanding how it all works: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...nstruments.htm

To answer your question:

Var MyVal = Closes[0][0] - Closes[1][0]; // diff between current 5 minute bar Close and current tick Close.
