Getting current month open value in a multi time series indicator when in Historical

[akuntysh]

Hello! I am developing a multi time series indicator that runs on 60 minute time frame and is intended to show current month open value. The indicator runs in OnEachTick mode. How can I get the current month open value when the indicator is in Historical state?

Calling Opens[1][0] results in previous month open value (since in Historical state indicator runs in OnBarClose mode only and so there is no yet closed/formed bar for the current month).

Here is my code snippet:

...
else if (State == State.Configure){
AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Month,1);
}
...
protected override void OnBarUpdate(){
if (CurrentBars[1] < 0) return;

if (BarsInProgress == 0){
double open = Opens[1][0];
Print(open.ToString());
}
}

Hello akuntysh,

Thank you for your note.

The code below will print the current months open, in real time as well as historically.

else if (State == State.Configure)
{
	AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Month,1);
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{[INDENT]if(CurrentBars[1]<1) return;[/INDENT]
			
[INDENT]if (BarsInProgress == 1)
{
	double open =  Bars.GetOpen(BarsArray[1].Count-1);
	Print(open.ToString());

}[/INDENT]
}
