How to get indicator signals from different periods

[akushyn]

Hello,

I am implementing the indicator and now I get signal bars only from the current period.
Now, I wish to get signals from the different periods at the same time, for example from Minute 1, Minute 5 and Minute 15 periods.

The code snippet of the signal in the current period:

            
           // potential Buy signal 
            if (switch_sar(AkSignalType.Buy))
            {

                if (CurrentTrendFilter && !current_trend_filter(AkSignalType.Buy))
                    return;

                // add other filters here

               // if all filters OK --> alert the sound
                if (SoundAlert)
                {            
                    AkEntryType entry_type = conservative_sar_filter(AkSignalType.Buy) == true ? AkEntryType.Conservative : AkEntryType.Agressive;
                    int rearm_seconds = (int)BarsPeriod.Value / RearmCount;
                    string alert_message = entry_type.ToString() + "; M" + BarsPeriod.Value.ToString() + "; " + (High[0] + TickSize).ToString(); 

                    Alert(SIGNAL_UP_ALERT, Priority.High, alert_message, NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.InstallDir + @"\sounds\" + SoundFile, rearm_seconds, Brushes.White, Brushes.Green);                
                }                
            }
            // potential Sell signal 
            else if (switch_sar(AkSignalType.Sell))
            {
                if (CurrentTrendFilter && !current_trend_filter(AkSignalType.Sell))
                    return;

                // add other filters here

                // if all filters OK --> alert the sound
                if (SoundAlert)
                {
                    AkEntryType entry_type = conservative_sar_filter(AkSignalType.Sell) == true ? AkEntryType.Conservative : AkEntryType.Agressive;
                    int rearm_seconds = (int)BarsPeriod.Value / RearmCount;
                    string alert_message = entry_type.ToString() + "; M" + BarsPeriod.Value.ToString() + "; " + (Low[0] - TickSize).ToString(); 

                    Alert(SIGNAL_DOWN_ALERT, Priority.High, alert_message, NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.InstallDir + @"\sounds\" + SoundFile, rearm_seconds, Brushes.White, Brushes.Red);                
                }
            }

How to do this in NT8 ninjascript?
I assume, that I have to play somehow with BarsInProgress, but don't have any clue how...

Could you , please , advise me what to do best and may be provide some examples.
Thank you in advance!

if your current chart is a 1 minute then BarsPerion == 0;


AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 5); //BarsPeriod == 1
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 15); //BarsPeriod == 2


in bar update to retrieve information on the chart you use

If (BarsPeriod == 1) // 5 minute chart information
{

Close[0] // 5 minute chart close price etc.


}

Hello akushyn,

Thank you for your note.

You could add additional data series to a script which calls the indicator.

For example I have attached a sample which will add 3 plots, a plot set to the moving average of 3 different periods.

You could swap SMA for your indicator, passing the specific series,
