multi time frame stochastics

[john_robertson00]

Hi, I'm trying to have a strategy where:
Step 1: if stochastics D is < 70 in the lower time frame
&& Stochastics K crossabove stochastics D in lower time frame
&& Stochastics K > Stochastics D in longer time frame

enter long

I've used the multitimeframe example provided by NT, but it keeps complaining everytime that I try to save that it is missing ) on step 1 above and ; on the other lines. I guess I'm not quite sure where the BarsArray[1] fits in the code below.
Any help is appreciated.

Here is my code:
protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(PeriodType.Minute, 1);
Add(PeriodType.Minute, 5);
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (BarsInProgress != 0)
return;

if ((Stochastics(BarsArray[1],3, 8, 3).D[0] < 70)
&& CrossAbove(BarsArray[1],Stochastics(3, 8, 3).K, Stochastics(3, 8, 3).D, 1)
&& (Stochastics(BarsArray[2],3, 8, 3).K[0] > Stochastics(3, 8, 3).D[0]))

{

EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "Long1");
}

}

Hi John, if you want to supply a custom IDataSeries / bars array to calculate your indicator method on that would always be the first input parameter in the overload, the below snippet is changed to reflect this and should compile fine -

if ((Stochastics(BarsArray[1],3, 8, 3).D[0] < 70)
&& CrossAbove(Stochastics(BarsArray[1], 3, 8, 3).K, Stochastics(BarsArray[1], 3, 8, 3).D, 1)
&& (Stochastics(BarsArray[2] ,3, 8, 3).K[0] > Stochastics(BarsArray[2], 3, 8, 3).D[0]))

Thanks for the info Bertrand. I cut and paste that into my code and it compiled good.

I don't see BarsArray in the UI. Is it possible to use the BarsArray within the UI Wizard or only in the CLI?

Thanks,
JR

Glad to hear John, correct any MultiSeries code will need to be done via custom programming in the editor, unfortunately not an option for the wizard interface (on our suggestion list to look into though).

Thanks Bertrand.
