Hi NT Support,
is it possible to use stored indicator instances on secondary time frames, or must the indicator be instantiated with each on-bar-update? If you could review the attached and let me know if I've done something wrong, I would greatly appreciate it.
Example attached. Strategy adds a secondary time frame of one minute. I create two instances of SMA(50), one on primary series (plot SMA0) and one on secondary series plot SMA1) . For demonstration purposes I also add plot SMA2 and SMA3 which are a SMA(50) instantiated on bar update for each series. So, 4 plots in total. Red, orange, yellow, green.
When activating the strategy on a 5-minute chart, I would expect Red and Yellow to plot together (tracking SMA 50 primary series) , and Orange and Green to plot together (tracking SMA 50 on secondary series). But the result is that only the green plot which is not using a stored indicator-instance plots the correct secondary-bar-series value.
I've attached a screenshot with the data box showing that plot SMA1 (which I want to show the same value as SMA3) is instead using the primary dataseries and getting the same values as those plots instead.
