Refrencing Daily candle in a 5 minute bot
27 Dec 2020, 12:13

How do I reference the previous days candle on a cBot???

Right now i have

private Bars daily;
daily = MarketData.GetBars(TimeFrame.Daily);

double yHigh = daily.HighPrices.Last(1);

I expect this to give me the last days high price, instead...I get this.

26/11/2020 00:00:00.000 | Backtesting started
26/11/2020 00:00:00.000 | Crashed in OnStart with NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
26/11/2020 00:00:00.000 | Backtesting was stopped

I also tried

double yHigh = daily.HighPrices.Last(daily.Count - 1);

To see if maybe I was referencing the wrong side of the array, but it still crashes.

Whats the issue here?

Please help me reference the previous day candle within my 5 Minute bot.

I cant believe nobody knows how to do this??

Like why does it seem like it should be so simple, yet isn't.

Ive now tried this as well.

private MarketSeries daily;

protected override void OnStart(){
  daily = MarketData.GetSeries(Symbol, TimeFrame.Daily);
}

protected override void OnTick(){
   Print(daily.High.LastValue);
}

Still get this error
