Show a indicator to use another Data Series

[LadGta2018]

Hi I would like to get help how to show an indicator to use another Data Series.

for example, I would like to show 5 minutes data Series SMA(5) when I load the 30 minutes chart.

So follow the guide: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...erence_wip.htm

I used "AddDataSeries("ES 06-20", Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 5, Data.MarketDataType.Last);", but I am not sure how to use it. It seems that "secondarySeries = new Series<double>(SMA(BarsArray[0], 50)); " didn't work.


My code example below, Please help me fix it. thanks

public class ChanBiNT5M : Indicator
{

private Series<double> secondarySeries;

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
.....................
}
else if (State == State.Configure)
{
AddDataSeries("ES 06-20", Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 5, Data.MarketDataType.Last);

}
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
//Add your custom indicator logic here.


secondarySeries = new Series<double>(SMA(BarsArray[0], 50));


}
}
}

Hi LadGta2018, thanks for your question.

Take out the new Series line within OnBarUpdate, it is not needed and it will create a new Series object every time OnBarUpdate is called. Series objects should be created within State.DataLoaded.

I attached a sample script for your reference that plots a 20 SMA of a 5 minute series.

Kind regards.

Hi Chris L. ,

I tried plots a 5 minute ZigZag in 30 minutes chart. but the code didn't work.

Could you please create a sample script for Zigzag? Thanks!

Hi LadGta2018, thanks for your reply.

The Zig Zag indicator is different because it does not have a plot value for every bar like the SMA does. You need to use either the HighBar, LowBar, HighValue, or LowValue methods of the ZigZag indicator noted here to get this to work. The concept is still the same though, pass in the second BarsArray object into a ZigZag indicator object just like we passed in the second BarsArray into the SMA indicator object.

Please let me know if I can assist any further.
