Named DataSeries

[TheTradingMantis]

Is there a way to assign friendly names to data series added using AddDataSeries. I have over 10 data series I need to add to an indicator and using friendly names would make the code easier to read and less likely to have an error introduced. I know the following will work, but it seems like overkill just to get friendly names.

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
   .
   .
   .
   else if (State == State.Configure)
   {
      AddDataSeries("AUDUSD", BarsPeriodType.Minute, 1);
      AddDataSeries("USDJPY", BarsPeriodType.Minute, 1);
   }
   else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
   {
      audusd = new Series<double>((BarsArray[1]);
      audjpy = new Series<double>((BarsArray[2]);
   }
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
   if (BarsInProgress == 0)
   {
      // do normal stuff
   }
   else if (BarsInProgress == 1) audusd[0] = Closes[1][0];
   else if (BarsInProgress == 2) audjpy[0] = Closes[2][0];
}

Thanks,

Hi Greg, thanks for posting.

You can make a public property that returns the Closes[1] array:

else if (State == State.Configure)
{
    AddDataSeries("MSFT");
}
...
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if(BarsInProgress == 1)
    {
        Print(MySecondCloseSeries[0]);
    }
}

[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore]
public PriceSeries MySecondCloseSeries
{
    get { return Closes[1]; }
}

Best regards,
