How to display AddDataSeries in historical data and realtime data?

[rafaelcoisa]

I was able to display the secondary data series in historical data with the indicator below (2000 ticks and 1 minute) but not in realtime.
My question is: is this even possible? Will there always be an index problem with the currentbars, series<T>, etc or is there a workaround?

Thanks

What, exactly, are you trying to do?

Secondary data series are typically invisible to the chart
and only used for programmatic purposes -- naturally, it
is the primary data series that represents the visual bars.

So, what is it you're trying to achieve?

Hey bltdavid,
Currently, what I intend to do is visually check the calculations I'm doing with the secondary data series.
But beyond that, knowing how to display secondary data series with bars is cool and may have more applications in the future.

Hello,

is it possible to show the calculations somehow that have been done with the second data series e.g. in a second chart window or in the second panel?

Kind regards
Gerik

Hey Gerik,

You can place the indicator of the first post in a second panel, yes.
But, maybe it is impossible to display the secondary data series live.

Hello rafaelcoisa,

Secondary series are not displayed in a chart. If you wanted to display that data in some way you would have to plot it. Your script is applied to only the primary series so any plots would relate to the primary bars. if your secondary series is a different timeframe or instrument you may not have a full picture of the data on that series by replotting it.

Generally you would want to use Print statements and the output window if you want to make confirmations about your logic. That would let you output all of the information for a secondary series or conditions you make.
