Secondary data series generating plot error

[gyilaoliver]

Hi,

i am using a secondary data series in my indicator ( 60 ticks range ), while the indicator is plotted on a 20 range bar chart.
The indicator works perfectly,, everything is calculated correctly, but my problem is that when i want to plot the signal :

buy[0] = Low[1] - 5 * TickSize ( i want to plot the indicators signal 5 ticks below the previous bars low, on the 20 range chart that the indicator is loaded to )

this plots the signal at the low of the previous 60 ticks bar, instead of the current 20 ticks range bar.

What am i doing wrong?

Hello gyilaoliver,

A plot on a chart is synchronized with the primary series only.

This means you should be assigning the plot values when BarsInProgress is 0.
Low[1] would refer to the previous bar of the primary series when BarsInProgress is 0. (Lows[1][0] would be the most recent updated bar of the secondary series)

You can retrieve values from a secondary series and assign those values to the plot series.

May I confirm you are requiring BarsInProgress to be 0 when assigning the plot value?

Thank you Chelsea. Indeed i was not using that.
Now i added :

if ( BarsInProgress != 0 ) return;

and works just as imagined.

Thank you very much for your help
