MultiSeries Indicator draw objects

[GeorgeW]

Hello,

I have a multiseries indicator on which I have used Draw.ArrowUp. The primary chart is 220Ticks and I have added a 660T series to the indicator. I have coded an arrow signal to show on the 220T chart when an indicator on the 660T series does something at bar[0]. I am getting the arrow signal 3 consecutive times on the 220T chart, because those 3 bars are effectively 1 bar[0] for the 660T series. Is there a way for me to restrict the signal to the 1st bar on the 220T chart?

I know how to do this using a bool series for a 1 series indicator, but it does not work for a multiseries indicator.

Thank you

Hello GeorgeW,

Thanks for your post.

You could use the bar number of the higher time frame as a check, something like:

if (your conditions to draw up arrow && CurrentBars[1] != savedBar)
{
Draw.ArrowUp( your parameters...);
savedBar = CurrentBars[1];
}

Where savedBar is an Int type and CurrentBars[1] is the current bar number of the added dataseries.

The first time through this: CurrentBars[1] != savedBar would be true allowing the up arrow to draw and saving the bar number in savedBar. The next time through CurrentBars[1] != savedBar would no longer be true and would not allow any further up arrows until the high time frame change bars.
