Syncing custom DataSeries to secondary series

[buylosellhi]

Hi,

Just trying to get familiar with the way DataSeries objects work. If I need to sync a custom dataseries I can definite by using DataSeries(this). If I add more series to the indicator, how do I sync the custom DataSeries object to the secondary series added using Add().

Hope i'm clear in what I'm asking.

thanks

Hello buylosellhi,

Yes, there is a sample dedicated to this here:

Ryan, thanks for your reply. In the example that you provided the secondaryDataSeries is synced using

secondarySeries = new DataSeries(SMA(BarsArray[1], 50));

do we need to use an Indicator with the appropriate BarsArray[] to sync it or can it also be synced using

secondarySeries = new DataSeries(BarsArray[1]);

thanks again...

Yes, you can do that, although you might not need a data series. You can access the close series of the secondary time frame with:
Closes[1]

Don't include the second bracket [ ] and it's a series, not a double.

Guys, synching the secondary series using an indicator like the SMA appears to work fine, as in the example zip file. But doing it directly via BarsArray[1], as in

secondarySeries = new DataSeries(BarsArray[1]);

didn't work for me. Not a big deal... just thought I'd mention it in case others try the same thing.
