Series<T> of arrays?

[tokyonoleo2]

Hello,

I'm still early on the learning curve for NS and C# ....

I would like to have my indicator create a an array of 9 doubles for each bar, where the arrays would be stored in a Series<T> so they could be accessed using barsAgo.

Is this possible, and if so what would the syntax be for creating and instantiating?

Or would I need to create 9 separate Series<T>'s?

Thanks very much,
TNL2

Hello tokyonoleo2,

Thanks for your post.

You can certainly create individual series.

Can you clarify what you are trying to accomplish with an array of 9 dataseries?

Basically I want to create smaller time frame bars within the main bar, mainly to characterize the shape of the price movement within the bar without actually adding a 2nd time frame to the chart. I would capture the sub-bars within OnMarketData.

I hoped to add a singe bar series of arrays, as opposed to multiple bar series' of values, for brevity.

Hello tokyonoleo2,

Thanks for your reply.

Declare: private Series<double[]> myDoubleArraySeries;

In state.Dataloaded add: myDoubleArraySeries = new Series<double[]>(this, MaximumBarsLookBack.Infinite);

In OnMarketData you can use: myDoubleArraySeries[0] = new double[9] { populate with your 9 elements of data}

You can then historical reference data for example myDoubleArraySeries[3][5]; 3 bars ago, 6th element,

edit - corrected array reference from a data series, was [3,5]

Fantastic! Thanks so much.

You asked how to create a series containing arrays.

This is how you can also create an array of dataseries!

This was written with NT7 in mind but also works for NT8 if syntax is updated.
