Where is Bars Ago Data coming from in strategy builder?

[johnMoss]

Obviously the current chart... BUT:

Scenario:

1. A Range-12 chart is being used as the primary chart for a strategy, so the strategy is loaded and running on this chart.
2. Amongst other indicators relative to the primary chart, an indicator is also being used which has been told to pull its data from a 5 minute chart data series.
3. That indicator is being instructed to look at a desired value and compare 5 minute bar zero to five minute 10 bars ago.
4. So even though I've told the conditional statement to pull from the 5 minute, is the strategy builder 'bars ago' logic in fact still utilizing the primary chart for the bar count?

Disregard, I need to dig a little further on this. I have two in the strat now pulling 5 min data... One appears to obey, the other does not. It might need tick...

Hello johnMoss,

The Strategy Builder is limited to processing on the primary series of the chart bar updates.

To evaluate logic during other BarsInProgress, you will need to unlock the script and remove the 'if (BarsInProgress == 0) return;' lines of code at the top of OnBarUpdate().

In the Strategy Builder, you can use the information from other series when the primary series is updating, by clicking Input Series and selecting the added series.
