Trouble initiating my strategy

[Conceptzx]

I have a second data series 1d added under configure, and daysToLoad = 4, but I'm getting hung at "Bars Count Requirement Not Satasfied, Waiting to load bars...". Any idea what may be the issue?

if (CurrentBar == 0 && CurrentBars[0] == 0)
            {
                // Initialize series at the first bar
                haCloseSeries[0]     = Close[0];
                haOpenSeries[0]     = Open[0];
                haHighSeries[0]     = High[0];
                haLowSeries[0]         = Low[0];
                HAOpen[0]             = Open[0];
                HAHigh[0]             = High[0];
                HALow[0]             = Low[0];
                HAClose[0]             = Close[0];
                if (showOutput && !backTest)
                {
                    Print("Strategy initializing..., Bar 0 set.");                
                    Print("Bars loaded for Chart series: " + CurrentBar);
                    Print("Bars loaded for primary series: " + CurrentBars[0]);
                    Print("Bars loaded for secondary series: " + CurrentBars[1]); return;
                }
            }
            if (Bars.IsFirstBarOfSession)
            {
                if (CurrentBars[1] < 3) { Print("Setting Historical Bar Reference point..."); return; }
                openOfDay            = Opens[1][0];
                closeOfPreviousDay     = Closes[1][1];
                openOfPreviousDay     = Opens[1][1];
                closeOfPriorDay     = Closes[1][2];
                openOfPriorDay         = Opens[1][2];
            }
            int barsToLoad = daysToLoad * 1380;
            if (CurrentBar < barsToLoad || CurrentBars[0] < barsToLoad || CurrentBars[1] < 3)
                {
                if (showOutput && !backTest)
                    {
                        Print("Bars Count Requirement Not Satasfied, Waiting to load bars...");                    
                        Print("Bars loaded for Chart series: " + CurrentBar);
                        Print("Bars loaded for primary series: " + CurrentBars[0]);                            
                        Print("Bars loaded for secondary series: " + CurrentBars[1]);  
                    }
                    return;
                }
            if (showOutput && !backTest) Print("loading Logic... Good Luck!"); PrintSettings();​

Hello Conceptzx,

Thank you for your post.

Since your condition that results in the print "Bars Count Requirement Not Satasfied, Waiting to load bars..." checks if (CurrentBar < barsToLoad || CurrentBars[0] < barsToLoad || CurrentBars[1] < 3) I suggest printing the value for barsToLoad as well. You are printing the CurrentBar for each series, but not the barsToLoad int to know what number the current bar is being compared to. This should help you to better understand why that value has not been met yet. When working with multi-series scripts, it can also be helpful to print the BarsInProgress somewhere to understand which bars object is calling OnBarUpdate(), such as the primary series or your added 1-day series.
