Multi Time Frame TriggerLine Indicator

[Taddypole]

I'm trying to develop a Multi Time Frame TriggerLine indicator. Refer to the attachments.

Showing is a 5 tick NexGen Renko bar. As shown in the attachment, the channels above and below are the 8 tick bar channels.

What I'm having problems with are the TriggerLines. Currently they are showing the 5 tick bar calculations. I read the indexing discussion on higher time frame bars, but when I try to apply that indexing, I get an error.

Can anyone show me how to apply the higher time frame 8 tick bars as an input to the LinearRegression plots?

Hello Taddypole,

Thank you for writing in.

You will need to use Closes if you are trying to refer to another series' close value.

Closes[1][0]

For more information about Closes, please take a look at the help guide at this link: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t7/?closes.htm

I think I found my answer.
I need to use the "BarsArray[1]" as an input to my indicator. Since the indicator needs the closing price, does BarsArry1 provide the close to the indicator input?

i.e. -

LargeLinRegCurve.Set(LinReg(BarsArray[1],lrgLength)[0]);

Hello Taddypole,

For use as an indicator input, yes, you will want to use BarsArray[1].

Indicators accept DataSeries as an input, not a double value.

Please, let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Thanks Zachary,

Does BarsArray[1] then provide the Closing price which is what I desire?

Hello Taddypole,

I am not clear.

You cannot pass a single close price to the input parameter of an indicator method. This parameter accepts an IDataSeries, which is what BarsArray[1] is.

If you just want to set the close price of your secondary series to your LargeLinRegCurve DataSeries, you will need to use the syntax I have provided in my initial reply.

Example:

LargeLinRegCurve.Set(Closes[1][0]);

If you are wanting to set your LargeLinRegCurve DataSeries to the current LinReg value based on your secondary series as its input series, you'll want to do the following below:

LargeLinRegCurve.Set(LinReg(BarsArray[1], lrgLength)[0]);

Thank you Zachary,

I’m making progress on plotting trigger lines on higher time frame bars using UniRenko type bars but its still not working.

I’m using “Add(PeriodType.Custom5,002015009) which creates a HTF bar of trend size of 2, a reversal bar of 15 and a brick size of 9.

Then when in BarsInProgress == 1, I try to calculate the “LargeLinRegCurve” but I’m not getting good results. See attached chart picture.

Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong?
