Draw objects from different series

[shildebrand324]

Is there a way to draw a line on current chart based on bars from a different time frame, primarily how to handle bars ago?

How do I know which data series the draw object is drawn against?

Hello shildebrand324,

Thanks for your post.

Please see the attached example script demonstrating how to draw a line on the primary data series and have that line calculated from a secondary added data series.

To accomplish this, you would add a secondary series to your script using AddDataSeries(). In OnBarUpdate() you would check if the primary series is processing by checking if BarsInProgress == 0. Then, you would call your Draw.Line() method and use values from the secondary price series, such as Closes[1][0].

Note that the drawing object will draw in the primary series if you call Draw.Line() in your BarsInProgress == 0 condition check.

See the help guide documentation below for more information.
