PriorWeekOHLC does'nt work on daily chart

[afoschini]

Hi,
I am examining the code of the PriorWeekOHLC indicator , as I found it on this forum (http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...php?linkid=540).

It is pretty straightforward, but the only thing I can't figure out is why it does'nt work on daily charts, even if I eliminate the intraday filter condition ( if(!Bars.BarsType.IsIntraday) return; .

I am sure I am missing something as the standard indicator PriorDayOHLC uses the same intraday filter condition. But why do we have to rule out Daily charts? As I work on DateTime objects to calculate next week start and then roll back currentOHLC to PreviousOHLC, should'nt it work in daily charts too? ... can you help?

Thanks
Andrea

Hello afoschini,

Thank you for your note.

I added a secondary 60 minute series to the script which will allow you to display last weeks levels on a daily chart as well as intra day.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Thank you for your help.

Can you please you please explain why it was'nt working without the additional 60' data series?
I still does'nt have a clue. It was working om on 30' or 60' prima data series but not on daily data series.

Thanks

Hello afoschini,

Aside from the return statement if its not intraday chart, the indicator loops from left to right saving the highest value between each week. I would speculate the reason had to do with the time conditions.

For a more in depth understanding I would suggest you add print statements to the script to understand the behavior, below is a video which covers this,

Could this be tweaked where it only looks back 1 bar rather than 256 to avoid cluttering up the chart? Just want to see last weeks OHLC. Thank you.
