Examples

protected override void Initialize()
{
    // Adds a 5-minute Bars object to the strategy and is automatically assigned
    // a Bars object index of 1 since the primary data the strategy is run against
    // set by the UI takes the index of 0.
    Add(Instrument, PeriodType.Minute, 5);
}
 
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    // Compares the primary bar's time to the 5-minute bar's time
    if (Times[0][0].Ticks > Times[1][0].Ticks)
         Print("The current bar's time is greater");
}
