referencing multi time indicator in barsinprogress 2

[tkaboris]

HI i have an indicator that uses multitime frame plotting.
In my data loaded i have this where i load indicator and it works fine

fvgIndicator = FVGICT(Close, false, FVGPeriodTypes.Minute, 2, 50, true, 1.1, 10, 2, true,
FVGFillType.CLOSE_THROUGH, false, false,
false,new TimeSpan(2, 14, 18),60,
false,new TimeSpan(2, 14, 18),60,
false,new TimeSpan(2, 14, 18),60,
Brushes.LimeGreen, Brushes.LimeGreen, Brushes.Green, Brushes.Crimson, Brushes.Crimson, Brushes.DarkRed, 13, 20, true,
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools.TextPosition. TopRight, new SimpleFont("Verdana", 12) { Bold = false, Italic = false },
Brushes.WhiteSmoke, Brushes.DimGray, Brushes.Blue, 50);

However when i switch to true to use multi timeframe for Minute 5 - fvgIndicator = FVGICT(Close, true, FVGPeriodTypes.Minute, 5, 50, true, 1.1, 10, 2, true,...
i get error
tried to load additional data. All data must first be loaded by the hosting NinjaScript in its configure state. Attempted to load NQ 12-23 Globex: 5 Minute

my question is how do I load indicator on barsinprogress 2? Whatever i did below is not working


else if (BarsInProgress == 2 )
if (CurrentBars[0] < 20 || CurrentBars[2] < 6 )
return;

fvgIndicator = FVGICT(Close, true, FVGPeriodTypes.Minute, 5, 50, true, 1.1, 10, 2, true,
FVGFillType.CLOSE_THROUGH, false, false,
false,new TimeSpan(2, 14, 18),60,
false,new TimeSpan(2, 14, 18),60,
false,new TimeSpan(2, 14, 18),60,
Brushes.LimeGreen, Brushes.LimeGreen, Brushes.Green, Brushes.Crimson, Brushes.Crimson, Brushes.DarkRed, 13, 20, true,
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools.TextPosition. TopRight, new SimpleFont("Verdana", 12) { Bold = false, Italic = false },
Brushes.WhiteSmoke, Brushes.DimGray, Brushes.Blue, 50);

Thank you

Sorry my mistake forgot to add data series. All working

However i want to change indicators true/false value from the strategy.
I am not sure if i amdoing it the best way, but its compaining that cant convert bool to int

fvgIndicator = FVGICT(Close, true, FVGPeriodTypes.Minute, 5, 50, true, 1.1, 10, 2, true,
FVGFillType.CLOSE_THROUGH, false, false,
false,new TimeSpan(2, 14, 18),60,
false,new TimeSpan(2, 14, 18),60,
false,new TimeSpan(2, 14, 18),60,
Brushes.LimeGreen, Brushes.LimeGreen, Brushes.Green, Brushes.Crimson, Brushes.Crimson, Brushes.DarkRed, 13, 20, true,
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools.TextPosition. TopRight, new SimpleFont("Verdana", 12) { Bold = false, Italic = false },
Brushes.WhiteSmoke, Brushes.DimGray, Brushes.Blue, 50);



public enum TrueFalseEnum
{
True = true,
False = false
}

TrueFalseEnum = TrueFalseEnums.False;

Hello tkaboris,

To pass a value to the indicator you need to set that when you create the indicator in State.DataLoaded. You would use the input your indicator has for the property and set it to true or false. If you want to make that a user input you need to use a bool property.

Hi i think thats what i did setting enum to bool

Hello tkaboris

An enum is not a bool, you need to make a bool property. If you are unsure what that looks like I would suggest using the strategy builder to create a bool user input and then view the code.
