Additional Data Series / BarsInProgress

[Doctor JR]

This question is just for my general understanding.

I've added a couple of AdditionalDataSeries and effectively use them to develop doubles and bools. However, when I run a true/false BarsInProgress test the only one that comes up true is the primary data series. This makes my coding thankfully more simple, but it seems to me they should all be considered BarsInProgress, as the strategy is processing them all.

Can anyone add some enlightening perspective on this phenomenon?

Hello,

Thanks for your post.

I'm not sure I understand what you are doing relative to a true/false condition but each added data series will call OnBarUpdate(). When each series calls OnBarUpdate() generic references would then point to that series.

For example the condition: if (High[0] > Low[0]), when the Chart bars call OnBarUpdate() the high and Low would be of that series only. When the added data series call OnBarUpdate() those High and Low would come from the added data series and not from the chart bars.

If this does not answer your question, please post your code that demonstrates your observations.

Paul,
Sorry for wasting your time. I had run originally run the BarsInProgress true/false tests deep in my code. I re-ran the tests at the top of the OnBarUpdate section and they all came back true as I thought they should. So I need to clean up some code.
