Getting BarsAgo in BarsPeriodType.Tick

[kezyclaire]

Hi,

I am trying to get the barsAgo using syntax below, but when my Panel 1 chart is BarsPeriodType.Tick, it is not getting the correct BarsAgo. How do I get the BarsAgo for BarsPeriodType.Tick? I have multiple DataSeries in the Chart.

convertedBarsAgo = CurrentBar - Bars.GetBar(convertedTime);

Thanks.

Hello kezyclaire,

An indicator will only have the bar information of the chart bars the indicator is applied to (the input series). If there are multiple panels with different instruments, the indicator will not be able to access the bars from those instruments.

To access a 1 tick series when the indicator is applied to a different chart bars add the 1 tick series with AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Tick, 1).

BarsArray[1].GetBar(DateTime barTime) would provide a tick bar from that added 1 tick series. BarsInProgress 1 and BarsArray[1] would refer to that added 1 tick series.
