Hello!

I want cBot to trade on the m1 timeframe, but make calculations based on the MacdHistogram indicator with the ability to select a timeframe, for example h1

        private MacdHistogram mcd;
     
        private Bars source;



        protected override void OnStart()

        {
            
            source = MarketData.GetBars(TimeFrame.Hour, SymbolName);

            mcd = Indicators.MacdHistogram(source.ClosePrices,shortCycle, longCycle, signalPeriod);
            
        }

I did it. OK. But then, when trying to use the MASD () data in the OnBar and OnTick methods, he doesn't care, he counts by closing the bar of the current timeframe/tick. Seems I need to create some kind of "dancing with a tambourine" so that he, like, waits until 12 M5 bars are collected, for example, in order to calculate the closing price of an hourly bar?

Yes. I saw this post, and thats my correct code for this task here in my post - Intitialize on start. But then begins bugs which I described
