BoolSeries and BarsArray

[shawnkm]

Wondering if someone could help me out with this.

I am creating a strategy using BoolSeries with BarsArray using a 15 and 60 minute chart. The basic idea is if bullIndication is true on a 15 and a 60 minute chart, then go long. The code works fine using one chart (without using BarsArray), but I can not get it with BarsArray. Here is what I have:

Indicator Code:

bullIndication.Set(true);
bearIndication.Set(false);


I had to create an instance so I can access the BoolSeries.

Strategy Code:
#region Variables
private double multiplier = 2.;
private int rangePeriod = 14;
private int basePeriod = 13;
private Indicator.myIndicator ABC;
private double lastStopValue;
#endregion

protected override void Initialize()
{
ExitOnClose = false;

Add(PeriodType.Minute, 15);
Add(PeriodType.Minute, 60);

ABC = myIndicator(basePeriod, multiplier, rangePeriod);
Add(ABC);

CalculateOnBarClose = true;
}

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

if (ABC.BullIndication[0](BarsArray[1] && ABC.BullIndication[0](BarsArray[2]));
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");


I can not figure out the code to call the BoolSeries with the BarsArray. Could someone please help me with the correct code for this section:
-----
if (ABC.BullIndication[0](BarsArray[1] && ABC.BullIndication[0](BarsArray[2]));
-----

Thank you very much.

Hello shawnkm,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

You would change the syntax to the following:

if (ABC(BarsArray[1]).BullIndication[0] && ABC(BarsArray[2]).BullIndication[0])
{
// Do something.
}

For information on using multiple bar series in your code please visit the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...nstruments.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Thank you for the welcome message and thank you for the help!

I have tried your suggestion and it gives me the following error:

The name 'ABC' does not exist in the current context

shawnkm,

What indicator are you planning to use? Is ABC an indicator you have?

[shawnkm]

The indicator name is myIndicator.

ABC is the instance that you have to create to be able to access the BoolSeries.

Here is how the code works:

-----
if (ABC.BullIndication[0])
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");
-----

That code works 100%. I just cant get it to function using it with BarsArray.

Thank you again Patrick for all of your help!

shawnkm,

I actually am not following. Can you provide all needed files to test this?
