Multi-timeframe indicator index out of range

[Epistemophilic]

I am getting an index out of range error with respect to the Ichimoku. Can you please explain how to fix the error.

namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Strategies
{
    public class MyCustomStrategy2 : Strategy
    {
        private SMA smaFast;
        private SMA smaSlow;

        private Ichimoku _Ichimoku;

        protected override void OnStateChange()
        {
            if (State == State.SetDefaults)
            {
                Description = NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptStrategyDescriptionSampleMACrossOver;
                Name = "MyCustomStrategy2";
                Fast = 10;
                Slow = 25;
                IsInstantiatedOnEachOptimizationIteration = false;
            }
            else if (State == State.Configure) 
            {
                AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Minute, 5);
            }
            else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
            {
                smaFast = SMA(Fast);
                smaSlow = SMA(Slow);

                smaFast.Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.Goldenrod;
                smaSlow.Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.SeaGreen;

                AddChartIndicator(smaFast);
                AddChartIndicator(smaSlow);

                _Ichimoku = Ichimoku(BarsArray[1], true, false, 9, 26, 52, 40, Brushes.Red, Brushes.Green, 26);

                AddChartIndicator(_Ichimoku);
            }
        }

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {            

            if (CurrentBar < 250)
                return;

            if (CrossAbove(smaFast, smaSlow, 1))
                EnterLong();
            else if (CrossBelow(smaFast, smaSlow, 1))
                EnterShort();


                        // In case the indicator has already been Terminated, you can safely ignore errors
            if (State >= State.Terminated)
                return;       
        }

        #region Properties
        [Range(1, int.MaxValue), NinjaScriptProperty]
        [Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "Fast", GroupName = "NinjaScriptStrategyParameters", Order = 0)]
        public int Fast
        { get; set; }

        [Range(1, int.MaxValue), NinjaScriptProperty]
        [Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "Slow", GroupName = "NinjaScriptStrategyParameters", Order = 1)]
        public int Slow
        { get; set; }
        #endregion
    }
}

Hi Epistemophilic, thanks for your question.

You can not use AddChartIndicator with an indicator that runs on a secondary series. You would need to replicate the way Ichimoku plots within the strategy, referencing the Plot values of the Ichimoku to fill your own plots.

Please let me know if you have further questions on this material.

Do you have an example strat that you can post?

Hello Epistemophilic, I have attached an example using the Ichimoku cloud indicator. Please see attached.
