Adding DataSeries to Indicator

[fibbee]

Hello,

I was hoping you could help me to add a Data Series to the BarNumbers Indicator I have attached.

I want to be able to access the bar count through Bloodhound and therefore need a data series to reference the current count.

Thank you!

Hello fibbee,

I'm not quite understanding what you are trying to achieve.

The CurrentBar or CurrentBars[BarsInProgress index] will have the currently processed bar number for the primary or added series.

For example
Print(MyIndicator().CurrentBar);

Below is a publicly available link to the help guide on CurrentBar.

To add a series to a script use Add(); with the appropriate instrument name, period, and interval.

I am trying to add a data series to this indicator so I can use a threshold solver to know when the bar count is greater than or less than a certain number.

Currently, there is only a plot value that is accessible which serves no benefit inside of Bloodhound.

I can hack my way around it using other solvers but its sloppy and would be easier if I had an indicator, that counts bars and that data is referenceable by Bloodhound.

Hello fibbee,

The Add() method will add a data series to the script so that this historical and real-time data will also cause OnBarUpdate to trigger.

I'm not certain how this would be used to provide a bar count to bloodhound indicators.

The CurrentBar object would be the number of the processing bar of the script.

You can also create a custom series to fill with data.
