Hi,

i am building a strategy on the 5 minue chart but i want it tolook at an indicator on the 20 minute chart, does anyone have advice on how best to do this?

Thanks

Hello,
You can achieve this by adding in a secondary data series that is a 20 minute data series and then calculate your indicator within your strategy using BarsArray.
I have provided an example of how you could do this below:

protected override void Initialize()
{
	Add(PeriodType.Minute, 5);

}
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
`			if(EMA(BarsArray[1], 20)[0] > Close[0])//Checks if the EMA of the 20 minute series is greater than the close of the primary series
		//DoSomething
}

I would recommend reviewing the following sections of our help guide:

• Add
• BarsArray
• Multi-Time Frame & Instruments

If we can be of any other assistance please let us know.
