accessing indicators

[velocity]

I am trying to access various indicators values at various bars but having trouble.

protected override void OnBarUpdate()

double x = SuperTrend(14,2.618)[0];


if (
SuperTrend(14,2.618)[0] < Close[0] <-- This Works
x < Close[0] <-- This Works
x[1] < Close[0] <--- This does NOT work
)

Question: How do I access various bars back in brackets once the indicator is named as above?

Another example of what I want to do:

x[1] > x[5]

thanks

In order to do that x must be DataSeries and you have it as double

Thanks for responding.

I changed it to DataSeries and did the following:

public class Triggers : Indicator
{
#region Variables
private DataSeries myDataSeries;
#endregion

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
myDataSeries = new DataSeries(SuperTrend(14,2.618));

if (
SuperTrend(14,2.618)[0] < Close[0] <--- This Works

myDataSeries[0] < Close[0] <-- This does not work


Any ideas?

This is not how you define a dataseries. Try this:

private DataSeries x; <- goes in Variables area

x = new DataSeries(this); <- goes after added plots in Initialize() area

x.Set(SuperTrend(14,2.618)[0]); <-- in code after OnBarUpdate()

x[1] < Close[0]

I must be doing something wrong. Lets say i have the following:

private DataSeries cci_data; <-- in #region Variables

cci_data = new DataSeries(this); <-- in protected override void Initialize()

cci_data.Set(CCI(14)[0]); <-- in protected override void OnBarUpdate()

if(

cci_data[0] > 100 <-- this works
cci_data[1] > 100 <-- this does NOT work

Where am I going wrong?

Hello,

Sorry to jump in here but this may help.

It should work, unless there is some other issue causing it not to work. You may want to paste in all of the code that is affected so we can test it for you and help you further.

Remember this [1] accesses a value one bar back, not the value that was stored previously. In other words, there is only one value stored per bar for each DataSeries.

Sorry if you already know this...

thank you Ben, I think I got it. I inserted

if (CurrentBar < 10)
return;

and now if I want to go back up to 10 bars i can do up to cci_data[10] Right?

with out inserting above code I could only access current bar. Right?

Hello,

Yes, you can now reference up to 10 bars back.
