Multi Instrument Strat w. OnTick indicators

[trader24211341]

Hi,

I want my strategy to run on a 1 minute bar, but use indicators on 4 and 10 minute timeframes that update on each tick.

Meaning when I check the 10 min indicators when my 1 min bar closes, for example, I don't want to have to wait 10 mins for an updated value, I want the 10 min indicators updating each tick as it can when on a chart.

I'm not seeing a way to do this currently, is there some way or some type of workaround?

thank you

Hello trader24211341,

Thank you for your post.

If you want your hosted indicators to run OnEachTick, the strategy needs to be running Calculate.OnEachTick. Hosted indicators will inherit the strategy's Calculate setting. This is noted on the Help Guide page for Calculate:

"Since the parent NinjaScript therefore governs this setting, it should be set to the highest needed setting satisfying all its childs."

You can add additional data series for the indicators to use with AddDataSeries().

If you want certain logic within your OnEachTick script to only calculate OnBarClose, you can simulate this using IsFirstTickOfBar.
