The condition does not trigger

[Jorge.andres.o]

I am back after going a long time without writing code, and it may sound super easy. I have not been able to find the problem.

Can you help me find the reason for not triggering the draw? (I am checking these conditions; the others are working properly).

I am trying to add a condition for my strategy:

Primary Timeframe 60 minutes
Secondary Timeframe 15 minutes

The condition will run on each tick and on the secondary timeframe:

If the current high crosses above the previous high, draw a vertical line.

If the current low crosses below the previous low, draw a vertical line.

The code I wrote goes like this:

...
else if (State == State.Configure)
            {
                AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 15);
            }
            else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
            {                
                MAX1                = MAX(Highs[1], 1);
                MIN1                = MIN(Lows[1], 1);
            }
        }

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            if (BarsInProgress != 0)
                return;

            if (CurrentBars[1] < 1)
                return;

             // Set 1
            if (CrossAbove(Highs[1], MAX1, 1))
            {
                Draw.VerticalLine(this, @"max1 Vertical line_1", 0, Brushes.Lime, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 2);
            }

             // Set 2
            if (CrossBelow(Lows[1], MIN1, 1))
            {
                Draw.VerticalLine(this, @"max1 Vertical line_2", 0, Brushes.Red, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 2);
            }

        }
    }​

Hello Jorge.andres.o,

Thanks for your post.

In the code you shared I see you are checking if you have enough bars for the added secondary series but not for the primary series. Add a CurrentBars condition in your script to make sure you have enough bars for the primary series also.

CurrentBars - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...urrentbars.htm
Make sure you have enough bars - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nough_bars.htm

If a script is not behaving as expected then debugging prints should be added one line above your condition that prints out all values being used in that condition along with the time of the bar to see how the logic is processing.

Prints will appear in the NinjaScript Output window (New > NinjaScript Output window).

Below is a link to a forum post that demonstrates how to use prints to understand behavior.
