Retrieving secondary series bar number for specific time

[wdmal]

Hi,

I would appreciate your help with solving the below issue.

For my strategy, I am trying to get the difference in numbers between the current bar and the bar that happened during specific time in the past, as below

int barsAgo = CurrentBar - Bars.GetBar(new DateTime(2006, 12, 18, 9, 0, 0));

This works fine for the primary data series, however I have a hard time making it work for the secondary data series. I am trying the different combinations of the below but it doesn't work on the Bars.GetBar side. CurrentBars[1] works fine

int barsAgo = CurrentBars[1] - Bars.GetBars(new DateTime(2006, 12, 18, 9, 0, 0))[1];

Could you help me to figure that out how to adjust the Bars.GetBar to work for the secondary data series?

Best,

Hello Wdmal,

If you're using the multi-time frame, you don't need to have 2 codes. The same code would work for 2nd data series. Here's an example:

    Print(Time[0]);
    Print("BarsInProgress: " + BarsInProgress);

    int barsAgo = CurrentBar - Bars.GetBar(new DateTime(2015, 12, 18, 9, 0, 0));
    Print("Bars Ago: " + barsAgo);

    Print("");

Let me know if it works
