Working with Multiple DataSeries

[Bluebeep]

Hi guys,

In my strategy I am working with 2 DataSeries which I have loaded in State.Configure as follows:

if (State == State.Configure)
    {
        AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Minute, 120);
        AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Minute, 1);
    }

During OnBarUpdate(), I need to get the value of 'CurrentBar' for the 1-min DataSeries. However if I assign CurrentBar to a variable, the variable takes on the value of the CurrentBar of the 120-min DataSeries. How can I access the value of the 1-min CurrentBar?

Hello Bluebeep,

Thanks for your post.

In a multi Timeframe script, each added data series will also call OnBarUpdate(). You can determine which data series is calling OnBarUpdate() by checking the BarsInProgress value. BarsInProgress will be 0 for the chart/primary bars, 1 for your 120 minutes series and 2 for your 1-minute bar.

Note, the "value" of CurrentBar is the bar number. In a multi-timeframe script, you can use CurrentBars[] where the index would be the BarsInProgress. To get the current bar number of the 1 minute data series you would use CurrentBars[2].
