Getting past int value

[Ousher]

I have

int = myCount

myCount is a value that is assigned to a bar depending on different factors.

I want to access and print out random past values of myCount. Lets say I want to see the value from bar #19 (assuming current bar is 0). How do I access it?

At the top of your code in the variable declarations, add something like: private Series<int> MyCountSeries = null;

In State.Configure or State.DataLoaded you'll do something like: MyCountSeries = new Series<int>(this);

In OnBarUpdate (or wherever) you're setting myCount, right after that, do: MyCountSeries[0] = myCount;

Then, later, you can use MyCountSeries[1] to get 1 bar back etc.

A few other notes - you shouldn't (or can't) name your variable int like that because int is a keyword. I'm assuming instead of "int = myCount" you mean "int myCount" or "int myCount = something" or "int myCount; myCount = something".

Also, if, as you say, current bar is 0, you can't get bar #19 because that is in the future. If what you mean is current bar is 0 BACK then bar 19 BACK is MyCountSeries[19].

If you are using more than one data series, but this series is about the chart bars, you should check "if (CurrentBars[0] >= 0)" before you access MyCountSeries[0] because there might not be any chart bars yet.

If you are exporting this series e.g. it's a vector output from an indicator that you need in a strategy, you should initialize it in State.Configure - otherwise, it should be in State.DataLoaded.

If you need more than 256 bars of history, you can use the overload with MaximumBarsLookback.Infinite but this uses more resources so you should not do it unless you need more than 256 bars of history (an example would be if you are using it in OnRender, or need to look all the way back to the start of the series for some reason).

Hello, thanks for writing in. You can create a class level Series object. Series objects are arrays that have a slot index for every bar on the chart. Please see the example here:

Works. Thanks!
