Bars.GetBar Index

[tonynt]

Hello,

from the NinjaTrader SampleGetHighLowByTimeRange I made me an indicator with different calculations and it works basically ok.

I run the indicator on a 30 min chart. When I add Dataseries 15 min and I set eveything in the bracket if(BarsInProgress==1) then the startbarsago is not correct any more. I try to resolve this now for hours but I cant find a solution. After modifying and testing several times I have no idea what might cause this behavior.

In parameters I have start time 9:30 and it works ok in 30 min chart. But when I add the dataseries 15 min and put it in BIP=1 then the starttime changes to 2:30 (I do no change in parameters!) And of course I change in the code all Low to Lows[1]/High....


???

Thank you!
Tony

Hello Tony,

Below is a link to the help guide for the .SampleGetHighLowByTimeRange.

When adding multiple series, specify the bar series you would like to get the bar by time from.

BarsArray[0].GetBar().

Below is a link to the help guide on BarsArray.

Hello,

thank you for your reply.

I attach a sample (reduced to the very minimum!) where you can see that it starts plotting from 2:30, even when parameters with start time 9:30.

Thank you!

Hello Tony,

There are no prints in this.

How do you know that startDateTime has changed?

Below is a link to a forum post that demonstrates using prints to understand behavior.

Print Times[0][0] and Times[1][1] and then print startDateTime.

Provide the output saved to a text file if you are confirming that the startDateTime variable value is changing.

As a heads up, it looks like you are getting the time from BarsArray[1]. That is not the chart bars. Meaning you are getting a bar from one series, and then drawing an object on a different series (the primary series, BarsArray[0]). Drawing objects are only drawn on the primary series.
