different timeframes

[tonynt]

When using different timeframes in a strategy eg

if (Stochastics(BarsArray[7],3,5,2).K[0] > 80
&& Stochastics(BarsArray[1],3,5,2).K[0] > 50
&& Stochastics(BarsArray[3],3,5,2).K[0] > 80
&& Stochastics(BarsArray[5],3,5,2).K[0] > 80
)
{Variable1 = 1;}


is there to add something to make it working correctly?


Thanks

Hello Tony,

You would need to check that the Bars are updating for these intervals using BarsInProgress:

In your samplemultitimeframe there is only

if (BarsInProgress != 0)
return;


Is this all to do for working with different timeframes? (Should be, as its your sample)

Tony,

Using a value of 0 in BIP would give refernece the primary data series. A value of 1 would give you the second data series.

The BIP filter you use will depend on what you're trying to do in the context of the code.

Can you please clarify if you're currently receiving any errors with the code you're using? If so what do these errors report?

Thank you for your reply.

Referring to your question about the error-message the problem is that when I want to run the strategy in 50range but the entry with my 8th timeframe renko and I code it the way below - referring to the support information - I get only 0 in the strategy summary.

if (BarsInProgress == 8
&& Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat
&& Variable1 == 1
&& Closes[8][1] > Opens[8][1]
&& Closes[8][0] < Opens[8][0])
{
EnterShort(10000, "S1");
}


Therefore occur the 2nd question and I want to ask if its OK when I use in another strategy the different timeframes correctly when I run the strategy in a 50range chart and I have conditions with other timeframes as shown in the beginning of this thread.


Best
Tony

Hello Tony,

For the issue of the results being 0, I would recommend running TraceOrders property to retrieve more information as to why the orders are not submitting when the conditions are true:

If you have trouble interrupting the output from TraceOrders, please let me know these results and I'd be happy to take a look
