Problems with multi time frames

[Sangui]

Hello, I am trying to programm an Indicator with ES 03-11 3minutes as the main Instrument and ^COMP 5 minute as secondary instrument. The problem that I have is that when I include a condition of second instrument the indicator is not displayed on the panel on instrument 1. The code is the following:

Any idea about what I am doing wrong?

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Green), PlotStyle.Line, "Plot0"));
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Red), PlotStyle.Line, "Up"));
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Gray), PlotStyle.Line, "Down"));
Add(new Line(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Red), 2, "Superior"));
Add(new Line(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Red), 0.5, "Inferior"));
Overlay = false;


Plots[0].Max = 2;
Plots[0].Min = 0.5;
Plots[1].Min = 2;
Plots[2].Max = 0.5;

Add("^COMP",PeriodType.Minute,5);

}

/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

if (BarsInProgress==1) return;
if (CurrentBar<14) return;

double value = ATR(13)[0];
Plot0.Set(value);
Up.Set(value);
Down.Set(value);


if(Closes[1][0]>SMA(BarsArray[1],5)[0] && Closes[1][1]<=SMA(BarsArray[1],5)[1] && Closes[1][0]>Opens[1][0])
{
DrawArrowUp("UP"+i,0,Low[0]-5*TickSize,Color.Orange);
i++;
}
}

Hi again,

I worked it out . The problem was that I forgot to include:

if (CurrentBars[1]<5) return; in order to assure that there are enough bars for the calculations on Instrument 1 (COMP).

I leave the post open just in case it is useful for anyone...

F...ing A! You just fixed my problem. I was testing for CurrentBars only but not for CurrentBars[1] for instance - which I do have as I am building a multi instrument indicator. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, mate! :-)
