AddDataSeries

[fingers]

comparing daily MNQ chart values with AddDataSeries values and they're not the same.

Is this a known issue or is their perhaps a sample script showing it working ok?

Hello fingers,

Thank you for your post.

I have tested this out on my platform and was not able to find a discrepancy.

I'm attaching the test script so you can test it on your own, the script adds a 1 day MNQ data series and prints out the values of the primary data series and the added MNQ series. I applied this to a 1 day MNQ chart and found the values were the same.

Please let me know if you see a discrepancy between the values using this script.

Hello fingers,

My apologies, I neglected to add a CurrentBars check to the test script. Please see the attached updated script.

could this be a time zone setting issue but this is what I get

Hello,

Are you applying the script to a 5 minute chart? It's not expected that 5 minute bars would match daily bars.

Closes[0][0] is using the primary data series (BarsInProgress index = 0), which is a 5 minute MNQ chart, not the last few days values of a Daily MNQ chart. Closes[1][0] is the added 1 day MNQ data series (BarsInProgress index = 1).

I have attached a new test script that prints out the BarsInProgress value of Closes[0][0] and Closes[1][0] as well as the timestamp, so you are able to see more clearly what each value being printed represents.

AddDataSeries() - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...dataseries.htm

BarsInProgress - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...inprogress.htm

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

would you expect a secondary daily data series on a 5 minute chart to match a primary daily chart?

to clarify ...

1. on my 5 minute chart I have a secondary daily data series and I print "Print("Closes[1][0]:" + Closes[1][0])"

2. on my daily chart I have no additional data series and print "Print("Closes[0][0]:" + Closes[0][0])"

that's what the previous image shows.

I just need to know if I'm doing something wrong or if they are actually different?

ok I understand now, penny dropped
