Additional Data Series (higher time frame) in the Strategy Builder

[Radano]

Hello michi08,

To close this off, we worked offline to find a solution for what you were using.

A 255 tick chart and the strategy added a 900 tick series.

The strategy would error out as previously discussed. What happens is that the strategy builder does not generate the needed code to wait for x bars before trying to run the code created by the various conditions when they use the added data series.

In this case, you were using an added 900 tick series in the strategy. The previous recommendation of a workaround still generated the same error. In testing, I found that by accessing the 5th bar ago of the added data series, the needed code is generated by the strategy builder. So we ended up checking the close of the 5th bar of the added data series to see if it was greater than 0 (this is a harmless and always true condition that only needs to be added once).

Again this is a workaround until the fix is determined and released in a future version of NinjaTrader8.

Still no fix?

Hello Radano,

Thank you for your reply.

Paul is currently out of the office, however, I've taken a look at the ticket for this fix and it does look like it should be on the list for the next release, however, I can not speculate on when that will be released or definitely state that it will be included as the items in any particular release are subject to change.

When implemented, it will be noted in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.

Great. What is the logic in terms of bar number using strategy builder? E.g. I need to have any 5mMACD Diff to be green (above 0) and first bar of 9mMACD Diff green in order to enter long. How to manage bar numbering, value 0 in both?
