Referencing 2nd DataSeries in NT7

[velocity]

I am trying to reference the 2nd dataseries one bar back and if condition is true, plot on 1st dataseries. Where am I going wrong?

if( CurrentBar <1) return;

if (Closes[1][1] >= Opens[1][1]) // second dataseries one bar back ?
{
DrawDot("MyDotbuy"+CurrentBar, true, 0, Lows[0][0] - (2 * TickSize), Color.Blue);
}


Thanks

Hello Velocity,

You most likely need the Current Bar check on the secondary series.
This is accessed with CurrentBars.

if (CurrentBars[1] < 1)
return;

I change the code as you suggested with the following, but no luck.

if( CurrentBars[0] <1) return; // 1st DataSeries
if( CurrentBars[1] <1) return; // 2nd DataSeries

if (Closes[1][1] >= Opens[1][1]) // second dataseries one bar back ?
{
DrawDot("MyDotbuy"+CurrentBar, true, 0, Lows[0][0] - (2 * TickSize), Color.Blue);
}

Any thoughts as to where I am going wrong.

thanks.

Hi Velocity,

Can you let us know the primary and secondary series intervals you're using? I'll try to set it up here to see what might need to be changed.

15 minute on both DataSeries

It's working OK here - applied to MSFT with second series AAPL added. Below is what I'm using:

 
protected override void Initialize()
{
Overlay = true;
Add("AAPL", PeriodType.Minute, 15, MarketDataType.Last);
}
/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

if( CurrentBars[0] <1) return; // 1st DataSeries
if( CurrentBars[1] <1) return; // 2nd DataSeries
if (Closes[1][1] >= Opens[1][1]) // second dataseries one bar back ?
{
DrawDot("MyDotbuy"+CurrentBar, true, 0, Lows[0][0] - (2 * TickSize), Color.Blue);
}
}

If you are still seeing issues here, can you share the complete code including Initialize() and the instrument you have this applied to?

Have a question for you.

Do you always have to add the second series?

Add("AAPL", PeriodType.Minute, 15, MarketDataType.Last);

Or, does NT7 automatically recognize the order of the data?

Thanks

Yes, you have to add a second series in the code. Otherwise there are no bars loaded when accessing Closes[1][1].
