Custom IDataSeries in multi-timeframe

[AnotherTrader]

Hi, I have a custom BoolSeries, myBoolSeries, that has its value set when BarsInProgress == 1.


I want to check its value when BarsInProgress == 0.


Presumably, the following …

bool myValue = this.myBoolSeries[0];

… won't work, as it will pick the value in BarsInProgress == 0.


What will work instead?


Thanks.

AnotherTrader,

Thank you for your post.

How are you setting the BoolSeries in the script?

Additionally, how is it being synchronized as well? Usually in the Initialize()

Hi, Cal

As below ...

 
 
 #region Variables 
 private BoolSeries myBoolSeries; 
 #endregion
  
 protected override void Initialize()
 {
 this.myBoolSeries = new BoolSeries(this);
 }
  
  
 protected override void OnBarUpdate()
 {
 if (this.BarsInProgress == 0)
 { 
 bool myValue = this.myBoolSeries[0];??????
 }
 
 if (this.BarsInProgress == 1)
 { 
 this.myBoolSeries.Set(0, true);
 } 
 }

Hi,

Any further thoughts on this?

Thanks.

AnotherTrader,

There is a synchronization conflict with the logic. Since, BarsInProgress 1 is getting called first before the myBoolSeries has been set, it returns a default false. However, since BarsInProgress 1 gets called more often than BarsInProgress 2 does, it will try to create a new running instance of the myBoolSeries which is why you see the different results.

You would need to run the myBool Series through a dummy indicator and then you would be able to set the new series to the added BarsArray in your logic.

Instead of setting the synchronization in the Initialize you would set it the OnBarUpdate()

if(myBoolSeries == null)
{
     myBoolSeries = new BoolSeries(dummyindicator(BarsArray[1]));
}
