Hi K100,

You can use Bars.BarOpened event to check bar changes for bars on other timeframes.

I'm using a Dataseries, as the Bars data i am using has been manipulated, (as in i have some additional maths applied to the MarketData.GetBars) --  So i'm not sure this will work or am i misunderstanding the method ?

I've created a dataseries for the OHLC - am i able to create my own Bars data for this work ?

Hi K100,

I am not sure what do you mean. With MarketData.GetBars() you can get the bars for another timeframe. Then using Bars.BarsOpened you can subscribe to the event raised each time a new bar is added to this collection. Isn't this what you are looking for?

The issue is that, i'm using the MarketData.GetBars() and then transforming that data - and moving it into a dataseries. So the alert i need needs to be referencing the price data from the Dataseries. I've created one Dataseries for each of the timeframes. So i need and way to subscribe to the lower timeframe dataseries for alerts while viewing the Chart in a normal 15minute timeframe...  Is that more clear ?

Hi K100,

If the bar change event of your custom data series is different than the standard timeframe, then you will need to develop this logic yourself.

Would you be able to provide me some sample code on the Bars.BarOpened event , there is little documentation or discussion in the forum about it.

Maybe i can still try it ?

Many thanks for your assistance.

Hi K100,

See below

using System;
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewcBot : Robot
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 0.0)]
        public double Parameter { get; set; }

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            var bars = MarketData.GetBars(TimeFrame.Daily);
            bars.BarOpened += OnBarsBarOpened;
        }
        
        void OnBarsBarOpened(BarOpenedEventArgs obj)
        {
            Print("D1 Bar Opened");
        }
    }
}
