Hello yeshujbp,

Thanks for your post.

To work with real time data (or playback with market replay data) and have access to the currently forming bar, the script must be run with Calculate.OnEachTick (or Calculate.OnPriceChange).

To access data from added data series you can work with the code segmented by the BarsInProgress index and/Or by using the "plurals" of the price type.

The BarsInProgress identifies which of the data series has called the OnBarUpdate() method. BarsInProgress 0 is the chart Bars, 1 is the 1st listed added data series, 2 is the 2nd added dataseries, etc. etc.

There are a number of ways to write your code and which way depends on your needs. For example, if you wanted to access the High of the first two added data series when the chart bars call OnBarUpdate():

if (BarsInprogress == 0)
{
if (SMA(20)[0] > Highs[1][0] && SMA(20)[0] > Highs[2][0]) // Is the Chart bars SMA20 current value greater than the current high of the first and second added data series
{
// do something
}

We highly recommend that you review the help guide on Multi series and multi time frame as this provides an education of all things related to the subject and covers all of your questions with detail ed examples and diagrams: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nstruments.htm The best way to review is in the sequence written that covers these topics:
