AddDataSeries with Tick INdex does not provide any data

[SuneSorgenfrei]

Hi
I have attached my strategy to the ESH0 chart and am trying to get hold of the 5 minutes Tick (^TICK) values. But it seems there is no data provided when i try to access the dataseries with Closes[1][0]. See below. So what am I doing wrong ?

Best Regards,
Sune

Hello SuneSorgenfrei,

Thanks for your post.

Please check the log tab of the Control Center for any errors received by the script. Please also confirm that you can open a chart to receive data for that symbol. Ensure that the symbol entered in AddDataSeries matches the symbol name in a chart's Instrument Selector. The symbol which should be used is "^TICK"

I look forward to assisting.

Hi Again
I have changes the Symbol to ^TICK and it seems that i get data when testing with Closes[1].Count, but I keep getting the error below
Strategy 'TickFade': Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method on bar 0: You are accessing an index with a value that is invalid since it is out-of-range. I.E. accessing a series [barsAgo] with a value of 5 when there are only 4 bars on the chart.
Which I do not understand as i am only refering to Closes[1][0], which in my understanding should be the secondary dataseries and the current value.

Hello SuneSorgenfrei,

Your script is referencing Closes[1][0], but it is not known if the the strategy has processed the secondary bar first, or processed the primary bar first and is trying to access the secondary bar before it has been processed.

I suggest checking that the strategy has processed 1 bar on the secondary data series before making the reference for Closes[1][0]. I.E.

if (CurrentBars[1] < 1)
    return;

This leads off of the advice we provide for making sure there are enough bars in the data series you are accessing. See below.
