BarsInProgress on Lower time frame

[westsider]

I am using a Daily chart and want to access 60 min bars. Can I use BarsInProgress to access a lower time frame within the daily bars or is that only designed to access higher time frames?
Thanks - Westsider.

westsider,

It can be used to access any Bar Object you have added or that exists on the chart. My understanding is that fastest Bar Object must be the Primary bars on your chart. So one way is that you could create a 60 min chart and then have your strategy add daily bars. In Initialize Add (PeriodType.Day ,1) would add Single Day Bars. 60 min bars would then be accessed as BarsinProgress==0 and DailyBars would be access when BarsInProgress==1

I hope this helps

Jerry

Hey Jerry, I suspected that was the case.
Thanks very much!
