Conditions at different time frame

[al.kooh]

Hello
How can I make a condition (like cross above/below) at a different time frame than the chart on a strategy. for example, I defined a 1 min time series and set the below condition but the stratgy does not work on a 5 min or different time. Please advise

Hello al.kooh,

Thanks for your post.

This would require unlocking the code of the strategy from the Strategy Builder by clicking the 'Unlock code' button and manually programming your strategy to suit your overall goals.

If the 5-minute data series is the first secondary series added to the script then this series would have a BarsInProgress value of 1. The primary data series the script is running on would have a BarsInProgress value of 0.

You would place all your logic that you want to process on the 1-minute series within a condition that checks if (BarsInProgress == 0). Then, place the logic you want to process on the added 5-minute series within a condition that checks if (BarsInProgress == 1).

Please see the help guide documentation below for more information.
