Series[0] Realtime and IntraBar

[user10]

Hello to the Forum,

I would like to use a series in real-time mode.
If a condition within a bar becomes true, this should be displayed on the next tick with Series[1].
Unfortunately this does not work.
For clarification I have written the following code:

counter++;
testCondSeries[0] = counter == 1;
if (counter >= 4) counter  = 0;


Print(Time[0]
 + "   testCondSeries[0]  " + testCondSeries[0]
 + "   testCondSeries[1]  " + testCondSeries[1]
 + "   counter    " + counter);

I get the following result:





Obviously Series[1] only works for historical data.

What is the best practice to solve my problem?
Thanks for your support!

PS: it's not about backtesting but about the running operation
PPS: I use Calculate.OnEachTick and work on a minute basis

Hello user10,

The series is going to be synced to the primary by default so if you are not using a 1 tick primary you will be referencing the same primary series minute bar for each new tick.

You may be able to sync a series to a secondary 1 tick series if you intend to have 1 index per tick rather than per bar.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hi Jesse,

thanks for the advice.
I have now changed the data series to 1 tick (AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Tick, 1);
The strategy was removed from the chart and restarted.
Unfortunately it still does not work.

I also don't understand why I need a second data series when working in the tick area.

hello user10,

That would not be the same as what I had described. your primary would need to be the 1 tick or you would need to add a synced Series. did you use what is shown in the sample i had linked for syncing a secondary series? the secondary tick series is part of what the sample i linked shows.

if you use a plot or default series here that is going to be for your primary bars. the alternate is to use a secondary synced Series.
