OnBarUpdate using Bar interval from Added dataseries not the interval set on chart

[SuneSorgenfrei]

Hi
I have just disvovered that if I add a DataSeries thgrough code to my Indicator like this

AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 1);

eventhough my chart is set to 5 minutes
the OnBarUpdate method uses the 1 minute interval instead of the 5 minutes set on the chart.

Is this the way it should work ?

Hi Sune, thanks for your post.

The 1-minute series is simply being called 4 more times for each 5-minute bar. If you print out the bar and time this will be clearer.

OnBarUpdate()
{
    if(BarsInProgress == 0)
    {
        Print(Time[0] + " Primary series")
    }

    if(BarsInProgress == 1)
    {
        Print(Time[0] + " Secondary series")
    }
}

We have a multi time frame script guide here as well:

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
