Basics of SbS Renko charting needed

Hi,

This is my first post and I am just learning Ninjascript. I am working on a strategy that uses SbSRenko(5) as a primary Bar chart and SbSRenko(20) as a secondary.

In Initialize() I try to add the SbSRenko first and then the SbSRenko(20):

Add(PeriodType.Custom6,
5);
Add(PeriodType.Custom6,20);

Then when I backtest I select SbSRenko(5) as a Data serie type. I got the "Custom6" by opening the file SbSRenkoChart.cs.


I would like to continue on something like:


// condition below should apply to my primary chart SbSRenko(5) and SbSRenko(20)

if
(EMA(BarsArray[1], 5)[0] > EMA(BarsArray[1], 20)[0]) && (EMA(BarsArray[2], 5)[0] > EMA(BarsArray[2], 20)[0])
{
// condition below should apply to my primary chart SbSRenko(5)only
if (anaMACDBBLines(10, 12, 26, 1).BBMACDLine[0] >= anaMACDBBLines(10, 12, 26, 1).Upper[0]
{
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");
}
}

Is that correct ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I am certainly not an expert yet with "Multi-timeframe" strategies but I can tell you the INIT you don't need the primary set in your chart type. Just add the 20 not the 5. 5 will be BarsInProgress==0 and 20 will then be BarsInProgress==1.

I am not sure your conditional statements are valid. You should probably use a construct more like:

If (BarsInProgress==0)
{// Put all sb=5 conditions,etc here
m_EMA5=EMA(Close,myperiod);
}

If (BarsInProgress==1)
{// Put all sb=20 conditions,etc here
m_EMA20=EMA(Close,myperiod);
}

Also note in your logic that if both bars close at the same time, BarsInProgress==0 will aways fire first. You should be able to use all the Open/Close/High/Low/Volume datasets and NT sets them to the appropriate data set. It uses BarsInProgress to tell you which data set they are currently point.
