Hello, Is there a simple way to get the previous (most recent closed bar) from price overlay? Example: Overlaying 30min on a 30second chart. I want the most recent closed 30min bar indicator value. I have been doing if loops using the modulus operator to find out when 30min has passed and i save the current 30min indicator value into an persistent variable. I am using the getminute and gettime functions as shown here: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SCDateTime.html#TimeValue Is there an easier way to get this value? I know about the barclosed function but that seems to only work on the 30sec chart (the one i am loading the code onto). Maybe i am wrong? Thanks for all your help |

Using the Study/Price Overlay study for this, is a very complicated and unstable way to do this. You simply want to access the data from the other chart using the method here: Referencing Other Time Frames and Symbols When Using the ACSIL: Referencing Data from Other Time Frames By Direct Referencing of the Other Timeframe Then access the second to last array element in the Base Data array from this other chart.
