Add indicator to other indicator in NT8

[Cormick]

Hi Jim,

Thanks a lot for the great value explanation and the video!
That helped clarifying how to formulate the problems.

Ok, Think I understand now.

On Mondays, Time[0] returns the values gotten from the last 'Calculation made at the most recent close timestamp'

— which was most recent Sunday's Close (for CL, GC etc. with-Sunday-evening-session-but-no-Saturday's-sessions-contracts,

for other contracts (without-Sunday-evening-session-nor-Saturday's-sessions-contracts: Lumber, Live Cattle etc.)
Time[0] returns values gotten from most recent Friday's close)?

On Mondays, Time[1] returns the values gotten from the last 'Calculation made at the most recent close timestamp - 1'

— which was most recent Friday's Close (for CL, GC etc. with-Sunday-evening-session-but-no-Saturday's-sessions-contracts,

for other contracts (without-Sunday-evening-session-nor-Saturday's-sessions-contracts: Lumber, Live Cattle etc.)

Time[1] returns values gotten from most recent Thursday's close)?

Whereas

On Sundays, Time[0]returns the values gotten from the last 'Calculation made at the most recent close timestamp'

— which was most recent Friday's Close (for CL, GC etc. with-Sunday-evening-session-but-no-Saturday's-sessions-contracts,

for other contracts (without-Sunday-evening-session-nor-Saturday's-sessions-contracts: Lumber, Live Cattle etc.)

Time[0] returns values gotten from most recent Friday's close as well)?

On Sundays, Time[1] returns the values gotten from the last 'Calculation made at the most recent close timestamp -1'

— which was most recent Thursday's Close (for CL, GC etc. with-Sunday-evening-session-but-no-Saturday's-sessions-contracts,

for other contracts (without-Sunday-evening-session-nor-Saturday's-sessions-contracts: Lumber, Live Cattle etc.)

Time[1] returns values gotten from most recent Thursday's close as well)?

For with-Sunday-evening-session-but-no-Saturday's-sessions-contracts, we can use:

Time[0] on Sundays

Time[1] on Mondays

For without-Sunday-evening-session-nor-Saturday's-sessions-contracts, we can use:

Time[0] on Mondays or/and Sundays

Time[1] on Mondays

The causation/why reasoning I made:

The Time[0] can only refer to one bar back on the Daily bars/data series with Calculate mode set to OnBarClose,
it cannot refer to current/processing bar (simply because the data is not yet available?).
It's just that way because of the OnBarClose calculations for the Daily bar — it must get some values,
and the only ones available/the most recent ones are the ones from the most recent Bar (not the not yet available ones of the current bar).

I think that makes sense. I was just too used to viewing indexes zero [0] to only be applicable to the processing bar. But that's not possible with OnBarClose calculation mode and the spaced Closes between Fridays sessions and Sundays evening session circumstance.

Thank a lot! You rock!

I'll test it now and then will tackle the BarsPeriod approach to get familiar with that way too.

Be well!
