Volume for Multi-Timeframe

[GuyFB]

I tried to print the volume for a 10 min time frame which I added to a strategy. The strategy was added to a 1 min chart. I found that the volume for the 10 min time frame was the same as the volume of the last min from the chart data. Here is the code and what I printed.

protected override void Initialize()
{
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
Add(PeriodType.Minute,10);
}
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (BarsInProgress == 1)
{
Print(Time[0].ToString()+ " 10 Min " + Volumes[1] + " O " + Opens[1] + " C " + Closes[1]);
}
if (BarsInProgress == 0)
{
Print(Time[0].ToString()+ " Chart " + Volumes[0] + " O " + Opens[0] + " C " + Closes[0] );
}
}


Output::::
Notice that the Open and close are correct but the volume for the 10 min bar is the same as the last 1 min bar.

- are you on NT6.5.0.8?
- which data provider did you get your historical data from?

Thanks

[GuyFB]

I am running 6.5.0.6

Using IB for a data vendor.

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Could you please update to latest NT 6.5.0.8 and let us know if issue persists?

Also: Which instrument was this?

Thanks

[GuyFB]

I am using ES 03-08

[GuyFB]

I down loaded version 6.5.8 and tried again. Same problem:

I tried this on a 10 min chart and both volumes were the same.

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Please change your OnBarUpdate method to:

if (BarsInProgress == 1)
{
Print(Time[0].ToString()+ " 10 Min " + Volumes[1][0] + " O " + Opens[1][0] + " C " + Closes[1][0]);
}
if (BarsInProgress == 0)
{
Print(Time[0].ToString()+ " Chart " + Volumes[0][0] + " O " + Opens[0][0] + " C " + Closes[0][0] );
}

Tech background: As you coded it before, some default .NET logic (.ToString() method) triggered in which just displayed unexpected results.

[GuyFB]

I tried your suggestion but same result. Here is my code and results:
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (BarsInProgress == 1)
{
Print(Time[1].ToString()+ " 10 Min Vol: " + Volumes[1][0] + " O " + Opens[1][0] + " C " + Closes[1][0]);
}
if (BarsInProgress == 0)
{
Print(Time[0].ToString()+ " Chart Vol: " + Volumes[0][0] + " O " + Opens[0][0] + " C " + Closes[0][0] );
}
}

Did you press F5 to compile and did you reapply the strategy to your chart? If still not working, try a restart of NT.
