CurrentBars[1] is always -1

I have an indicator that displays the current chart's ATR as text. I wanted to add the VIX to that as well. Here's the code:

AddDataSeries("VIX", BarsPeriodType.Minute, 5);

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    //if (BarsInProgress != 0) return;
    if(CurrentBars[0] < 20 && CurrentBars[1] < 5) return;

    Print("Made it here");
    //Add your custom indicator logic here.
    double atr = Math.Round(ATR(14)[0], 2);

    double vix = 0;
    Print(CurrentBars[1]);
    if (CurrentBars[1] > 5)
        vix = Closes[1][0];

    Print("Made it here 2");
    Draw.TextFixed(this, "ATR+VIX", "ATR: " + atr.ToString() + "\tVIX: " + vix.ToString(),
        TextPosition.BottomLeft,
        ChartControl.Properties.ChartText,
        ChartControl.Properties.LabelFont,
        Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 0);
    }
}

The log is showing the following:

Made it here
-1
Made it here 2

CurrentBars[1][0] is always -1

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Hello, thanks for writing in. All indexes in NinjaTrader start with a carrot symbol '^' Try this for your AddDataSeries call:

AddDataSeries("^VIX", BarsPeriodType.Minute, 5);

That did the trick, thanks.
