Strategy: Synchronizing a DataSeries object to a secondary time frame

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Note: In NinjaTrader 8 It is no longer needed to use an indicator to sync a secondary series. This can be done directly from the Series<T> constructor. This post is left for historical purposes.

Series objects are useful for storing interim calculations to your strategy. Sometimes you will want to store calculations based on another time frame that is not the primary bar series in a strategy.


Key concepts in this example:

• Creating Series objects
• Storing and retrieving values from Series objects
