[arbeydario]

Hi, if i have 2 charts from same instrument for example one with candles of 5 minute an another with candles of 1 minutes, and i add a indicator to the 5 minute chart, it is possible if i add a strategy to the 1 minute chart to get values or variables from indicator in 5 minute chart?

Hello arbeydario,

Thanks for your post.

You would need to add an additional data series to your script using AddDataSeries() for the instrument/timeframe you want to get the indicator value from. If an instrument is not specified, the primary instrument will be used. For example, you could add a 5-minute data series to your script by calling AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Minute, 5); in the State.Configure section of OnStateChange.

After adding an additional data series, you could pass Closes[1] as the Series<double> input argument for that secondary data series in when instantiating your indicator in State.DataLoaded. You could then print out that indicator value or use it in a condition or action.

See the sample code below.

//class level variable
private SMA SMA1;

//OnStateChange
else if (State == State.Configure)
{
    AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 5);
}
else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
    SMA1 = SMA(Closes[1], 14);
}

//OnBarUpdate
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    Print("SMA1: " + SMA1[0]);
}

See the help guide documentation below for more information and sample code.
