Not enough bars for strategy when adding a third dataSeries

[Tessan]

Hello, I'm doing tests on a strategy and I tried to add a third dataseries of higher timeframe of the same instrument. It worked well so far using only 2 data series but I'm not able de get the amount of bar required to trade with the third one.

here is the code i'm using :

​        private Ichimoku ichimoku1;
        private Ichimoku ichimoku2;
        private Ichimoku ichimoku3;


        protected override void OnStateChange()
        {
            
            if (State == State.SetDefaults)
            {
                Description                                    = @"Ma stratégie perso made in Tessan Molinié";
                Name                                        = "DTPStrategy_v2";
                Calculate                                    = Calculate.OnBarClose;
                EntriesPerDirection                            = 1;            
                BarsRequiredToTrade                            = 52+26;
                IsUnmanaged                                 = true;
                // Disable this property for performance gains in Strategy Analyzer optimizations
                // See the Help Guide for additional information
                IsInstantiatedOnEachOptimizationIteration    = false;
            }
            else if (State == State.Configure)
            {
                //AddDataSeries(instruments[0], new BarsPeriod { BarsPeriodType = BarsPeriodType.Minute, Value = 60 }, 52+26, string.Empty, null);
                AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Minute, 15);
                AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Minute, 60);

            }
            else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
            {
                ichimoku1 = Ichimoku(BarsArray[0]);
                ichimoku2 = Ichimoku(BarsArray[1]);
                ichimoku3 = Ichimoku(BarsArray[2]);

                AddChartIndicator(ichimoku1);
                AddChartIndicator(Pivots(BarsArray[0], PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData, 0, 0, 0, 240));
            }
        }

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {                    
            if(State == State.Historical) return;

            if (CurrentBars[0] < BarsRequiredToTrade)
            {
                Print("Not enough bars in data serie 0");
                return;
            }
            if(CurrentBars[1] < BarsRequiredToTrade)
            {
                Print("Not enough bars in data serie 1");
                return;
            }
            if(CurrentBars[2] < BarsRequiredToTrade)
            {
                Print("Not enough bars in data serie 2");
                return;
            }​

Hello Tessan,

Try adding more days of historical data to load so there are at least 78 60-minute bars processed before the script becomes realtime.

[Tessan]

How should I add more bars, by tweaking the BarsRequiredToTrade variable ?

Hello Tessan,

The 'Days to load' property is in the Data Series window from the chart.
