TickCount

[tonynt]

Hello,

it is working OK in an indicator. But how do I have to modify please when I want to use it in a script-strategy for BIP==2?

RSI1 = RSI(Closes[0], 5, 1);
VOL1 = VOL(Closes[2]);
myIntSeries = new Series<int>(this, MaximumBarsLookBack.Infinite); <----- ???

What do I have to modify in state.dataloaded please so that the "myIntSeries" which I use for TickCount is counting from the correct dataseries (BIP=2)?

Or is it enough and OK to have in OnBarUpdate
if(BarsInProgress==2)
{myIntSeries[2] = Bars.TickCount;
...
}
or isn´t this correct please?


Thank you!
Tony

Hello tonynt,

secondarySeries = new Series<int>(SMA(BarsArray[2], 50));
secondarySeries[0] = BarsArray[2].TickCount;

Please see the reference sample 'Synchronizing a DataSeries object to a secondary time frame'.

Hello,

thank you for your reply. Sorry I do not understand to modify
myIntSeries = new Series<int>(this, MaximumBarsLookBack.Infinite);
from
secondarySeries = new Series<double>(SMA(BarsArray[2], 50)); (which I have from that link already)

--> ?? myIntSeries = new Series<int>(BarsArray[2], MaximumBarsLookBack.Infinite); <-- ??

Thank you!

Hello Tony,

The indicator call to the SMA using BarsArray[2] synchronizes to BarsInProgress 2, which is used to generate the custom series which is also synchronized to BarsInProgress 2.

Hello,

thank you for your reply. I understand the sample with the SMA but I dont know if this here is ok now:"myIntSeries = new Series<int>(BarsArray[2], MaximumBarsLookBack.Infinite);"

Thank you!

Hello Tony,

No, what you have now is not ok, as this is not using an indicator to synchronize to a secondary series.

Please see the example
new Series<double>(SMA(BarsArray[2], 50))

Hello,

thank you for your reply. I have imported the sample and tried to understand form it.

I do understand from the syntax working with the SMA for BarsArray[2] but, sorry, I do not understand to modify the "MaximumBarsLookBack.Infinite".

Is this OK please (I have a hard time to understand everything accurately in english, even more this syntax I have never used before " Max....LookBack.Infinite")

myIntSeries = new Series<int> (MaximumBarsLookBack(BarsArray[2],Infinite));
"looks like"
secondarySeries = new Series<double>(SMA (BarsArray[1], 50));

Thank you!

Hello Tony,

MaxiumumBarsLookBack controls how many bars will be loaded for the secondary series. This is not a method, this is a property.

SMA is an indicator called as a method.

To this with maximumbarslookback this would appear as:

secondarySeries = new Series<double>(SMA (BarsArray[1], 50), MaximumBarsLookBack.Infinite);

new Series<double>(bars, maximumBarsLookBack);
