MultiTime Frame setup

[surya]

Team,

I have default chart:

chart (default) timeframe: 10min // always smaller timeframe compared to superior timeframe

superior timeframe: 40min // custom parameter I can change

So based on these I have some below operations

1) when I access this.Currentbar will that be defaulttime frame value or superior timeframe value

2) base.High[1] ==> will this be default time frame or superior timeframe

3) do I need to
AddDataSeries(BarsPeriod.BarsPeriodType, 40); // 40min
AddDataSeries(BarsPeriod.BarsPeriodType, 10); // 10min

4) do I need to add
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Green, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 5), PlotStyle.TriangleUp, "EnterLong");
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Purple, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 5), PlotStyle.TriangleUp, "SuperiorEnterLong");


My final goal is to have single chart with 2 timeframes on it. I could do it by adding indicator twice on chart. But I don't to go that route.

I have some code, which I cannot share, what is the best way to walk through?

Hello surya,

Thank you for your post.

1) when I access this.Currentbar will that be defaulttime frame value or superior timeframe value

this.CurrentBar will refer to the primary (default) time frame that your script is enabled on.

2) base.High[1] ==> will this be default time frame or superior timeframe

base.High[1] will refer to the previous bar High for the primary (default) time frame. To refer to the added secondary time frame you could use Highs[1][0].

3) do I need to
AddDataSeries(BarsPeriod.BarsPeriodType, 40); // 40min
AddDataSeries(BarsPeriod.BarsPeriodType, 10); // 10min

A script will run on the primary data series that it is enabled on. AddDataSeries() would be used to add a secondary data series to your script. For example, if you would like the 10-minute data series to be the primary series, you would simply enable your script on a 10-minute data series. Then, you could add a secondary 40-minute data series to your script using the AddDataSeries() method.

4) do I need to add
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Green, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 5), PlotStyle.TriangleUp, "EnterLong");
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Purple, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 5), PlotStyle.TriangleUp, "SuperiorEnterLong");

As stated in the Tips section of the help guide documentation below, for MultiSeries scripts, plots are synched to the primary series of the NinjaScript object.
