Using a different time period price source

[jhouchin]

Hello,

I am wanting to use a different time period source for some indicator calculations than is the source of the price on the chart.

For example my price chart is m15 but I want to do some calculations in my indicator on the m1 (1 minute) bar_stream regardless of the price chart the indicator is used on.

I am failing to understand how to access or create the m1 price bar_stream for use in internal calculations.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Theoretically, you can subscribe for one-minute history.
But I have never tried to do it in indicators.
I will check and let you know.

I've modified one of bigger time frame indicators to use m1 source always. Look at the attached sample.

Hello Victor,

Thanks for the example. I had completely overlooked (forgotten) the core.host:execute("getHistory" ... ) function.

It looks like it will do what I need. It seems to be the preferred way to accomplish this task.

Thanks.
