Bars.GetDayBar on Multi Time Frame

[AntiMatter]

E.g. I have added several intraday data series to my script using Add("ticker", PeriodType.Minute, 1). I want a reliable and efficient method to find yesterdays close for all of them, e.g. like Bars.GetDayBar.Close or something. Any ideas?

For consistency, I would like to avoid adding a Daily series for each of my instruments: The close will be different on the daily to the intraday data.

I'm getting inconsistent results using things like the following, as the instruments can have different timings etc:

if (BarsInProgress == 0 && Bars.FirstBarOfSession && FirstTickOfBar)
{
timeOfInterest = new DateTime(Time[0].Year, Time[0].Month, Time[0].Day);
}

openBar = GetBar(timeOfInterest);
Closes[x][openBar] //Gives inconsistent result!

Hello Antimatter,

There is PriorDayOHLC() for this.

You can pass in the BarsArray for the specific series you want for this.

That's great thanks.

Now I'm struggling to find a realiable way to get the TodaysOpen for each instrument in my list...?! Same problem as before.

You can use CurrentDayOHL()

GetDayBar()

A strategy works on a five minute chart with this line causing it not to fire:

&& CurrentDayOHL().CurrentOpen[0] < Bars.GetDayBar(2).Low

Adding this to initialize helped...

Add("ES 06-12", PeriodType.Day, 20);

But the strategy still does not plot the execution on the graph. Any ideas why that might be?

Also I could not find a monthly and weekly OHLC that plots on the current session. Any ideas about that?

Regards and thx

Hi everington_f,

For weekly and monthly series these must be added to the script to initialize. There are not built in methods that calculate these from intraday data like the CurrentDay, PriorDay, GetDayBar do for daily bars.

To find out why your script is not entering as you expect, debug it by checking values used in entry conditions. Help for debugging your NinjaScript is available here:

OK Thanks. I was kind of hoping that someone out there had an indicator the the previous month and week OHLC. Thanks for your input.
