Question about array

[Kovalev]

Hello, please help to program the following task. I need to create two arrays on the price axis and the time axis. No problem with the price axis.

var x = new double[N];
for (var i = 0; i < N; i++) x[i] = Close[i];

But what about the timeline I don't know. I need to Express it as a sequence of numbers relative to each bar.
For example x[5]=Close[5] x[4]=Close[4] x[3]=Close[3] x[2]=Close[2]
y[5]= 1 y[4]=2 y[3]=3 y[2]=4 etc

Hello Kovalev,

Are you wanting the time of each bar?

This is provided with the Time series.

Below is a link to the help guide.

If the series are already provided to you, it would be redundant to copy these to an array. Is there something specific you are trying to achieve?

ChelseaB, thank you very much for the tip, but there was another question. I'm programming these actions in OnBarUpdate, doesn't that mean the action won't execute until a new bar appears?

I did it this way. It turns out that this is wrong?
var x = new double[N];
for (var i = 0; i < N; i++)
{
x[i] = Close[i];
Print("x ");
Print(x[i]);
}
var y = new double[N];
for (var j = N-1; j > -1; j--)
{
y[j] = j;
Print("y ");
Print(y[j]);
}

Hello Kovalev,

OnBarUpdate() runs depending on the Calculate setting and whether the script is processing historical or real-time data and whether TickReplay is enabled or not.

In real-time when Calculate is .OnEachTick OnBarUpdate() will run each time a tick is received, when Calculate is .OnPriceChange OnBarUpdate() will run any time the price changes, when Calculate is .OnBarClose OnBarUpdate() will run any time the bar closes.

Below is a link to the help guide on Calculate.

In historical data, Calculate is always .OnBarClose unless TickReplay is enabled.

However, I'm unsure if your custom logic is wrong. Is this printing what you are wanting to print? Were not you not attempting to get the time of the bar?
