Hello,

Can I automate my trading strategies on Tick or Range charts instead of using Time charts.

Thanks

Thank you ValutaTrader, I have solved the problem.

Hi There,
I'm facing the same issue BOTH with a data1 as min bar of ES and data2 as daily bars of ES.D
any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

thanks,

I'm facing the same issue BOTH with a data1 as min bar of ES and data2 as daily bars of ES.D any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

@EladLevi,

This is a classic EasyLanguage gotcha with recursive functions like XAverage across data series.

The problem: when you call XAverage(Close, Length) of Data2 directly from a strategy applied to Data1, the internal series state of XAverage doesn't always switch context properly to Data2. Since XAverage is recursive (each bar depends on the previous bar's EMA value), this causes incorrect calculations or errors.

The fix is to wrap your XAverage logic inside a custom function, then call that function with "of Data2".

Here's the pattern:

1. Create a new EasyLanguage Function (e.g., "MyEMA"):

• Inputs: Price(numericseries), Length(numericsimple)
• MyEMA = XAverage(Price, Length);

2. In your strategy, call it as:

• Value1 = MyEMA(Close, 20) of Data2;

When you append "of Data2" to your custom function call, EasyLanguage shifts the entire data context for everything inside that function to Data2. All price references, bar counts, and series states resolve correctly against your daily ES.D bars.

A couple of additional things to watch with your ES minute + ES.D daily setup:

• Data2 values only update when a new daily bar completes, but your strategy evaluates on every Data1 (minute) tick
• Check your MaxBarsBack settings for Data2 separately -- daily bars need enough history for the EMA to initialize properly
• Trade orders execute on Data1 by default unless you specify otherwise

This wrapper function approach works for any recursive built-in function across data series, not just XAverage -- keep it in your toolkit.
