Discussion of article "Timeseries in DoEasy library (part 39): Library-based indicators - preparing data and timeseries events"
Hi,
I am trying to print some parameters of the last "complete" bar into the journal, but I would guess I have either not updated the stored series data, or have not sorted it (but I also can't work out how to sort it by time and get the bar I want), my result is always the 2nd bar in the history, never updated realtime data of the previous complete bar... Next I want to compare the most recent complete bar size against the previous 10-20 bars, any push in the right direction will be appreciated!
I am performing this action on the "New Bar" event:
else if(idx>SERIES_EVENTS_NO_EVENT && idx<SERIES_EVENTS_NEXT_CODE) { //--- "New bar" event if(idx==SERIES_EVENTS_NEW_BAR) { Print(TextByLanguage("Новый бар на ","New Bar on "),sparam," ",TimeframeDescription((ENUM_TIMEFRAMES)dparam),": ",TimeToString(lparam)); //--- printing last complete bar size on every new bar // Get the Symbol object from the passed string param CSymbol *symbol=engine.GetSymbolObjByName(sparam); if(symbol==NULL) return; // Get the last complete bar (current -1 from right of chart) for this timeframe CBar *bar=engine.SeriesGetBar(symbol.Name(),(ENUM_TIMEFRAMES)dparam,1); if(bar==NULL) return; //--- Display the data received from the bar object Print(TextByLanguage("Бар \"","Data from Bar \"")+symbol.Name()+"\" "+TimeframeDescription((ENUM_TIMEFRAMES)dparam)+": "+TimeToString(bar.Time(),TIME_DATE|TIME_MINUTES|TIME_SECONDS)+ " H: "+DoubleToString(bar.High(),symbol.Digits())+ " L: "+DoubleToString(bar.Low(),symbol.Digits())+ " Size: "+DoubleToString(bar.Size(),symbol.Digits())); } }

Attach here the source code of the program in which you get such results, please.
What timeframe bars do you want to receive at the opening of a new bar?
Hi,
I have just added that code block to the new bar event of the Pt39 TestDoEasy EA, no other changes (line 544 in the attached)
On the open of a new bar, I want to check the bar history of the timeframe which triggered the event - since the event is triggered on each timeframe separately, I figured it would be easier to put this check as part of the event
Thanks
Hey-any update?
Is it something I'm not doing right? Seems to me that if it was an issue with the library that someone would have found it much earlier than this :)

Hi Artyom, do you have specific ideas for the library to write in the chart comments, using ::Comment() like you do in CEngine::SeriesSync()?
void CEngine::SeriesSync(SDataCalculate &data_calculate,const uint required=0) { //... //--- Display the empty timeseries data as a chart comment and try synchronizing the timeseries with the server data ::Comment(series.Header(),": ",CMessage::Text(MSG_LIB_TEXT_TS_TEXT_WAIT_FOR_SYNC)); ::ChartRedraw(::ChartID()); //... //--- display the chart comment and the journal entry with the re-created timeseries data ::Comment(series.Header(),": OK"); ::ChartRedraw(::ChartID()); Print(series.Header()," ",CMessage::Text(MSG_LIB_TEXT_TS_TEXT_CREATED_OK),":"); series.PrintShort(); //... //--- Delete all comments ::Comment(""); ::ChartRedraw(::ChartID()); }
In my humble opinion, it is probably best to leave this to the user of the library... I have my own library that manipulates the chart comments to output key operational aspects of my EAs, so would strongly prefer to avoid interference from DoEasy library. What are your future plans in that respect?

If there is future work with graphics, there will be no standard comments.
Hello - in reviewing the event-handler code more closely, I noticed that you use different methods to parse out the source of the event... in some cases it's based on the chart event id parameter from OnChartEvent()while in others you extract it from the lparam parameter via engine.EventSource(lparam) -- is there a particular reason why it is different in each case?
void OnDoEasyEvent(const int id, const long &lparam, const double &dparam, const string &sparam) { int idx=id-CHARTEVENT_CUSTOM; //--- Retrieve (1) event time milliseconds, (2) reason and (3) source from lparam, as well as (4) set the exact event time ushort msc=engine.EventMSC(lparam); ushort reason=engine.EventReason(lparam); ushort source=engine.EventSource(lparam); long time=TimeCurrent()*1000+msc; //--- Handling symbol events if(source==COLLECTION_SYMBOLS_ID) { //... } //--- Handling account events else if(source==COLLECTION_ACCOUNT_ID) { //... } //--- Handling market watch window events else if(idx>MARKET_WATCH_EVENT_NO_EVENT && idx<SYMBOL_EVENTS_NEXT_CODE) { //... } //--- Handling timeseries events else if(idx>SERIES_EVENTS_NO_EVENT && idx<SERIES_EVENTS_NEXT_CODE) { //... } //--- Handling trading events else if(idx>TRADE_EVENT_NO_EVENT && idx<TRADE_EVENTS_NEXT_CODE) { //... }

New article Timeseries in DoEasy library (part 39): Library-based indicators - preparing data and timeseries events has been published:
The article deals with applying DoEasy library for creating multi-symbol multi-period indicators. We are going to prepare the library classes to work within indicators and test creating timeseries to be used as data sources in indicators. We will also implement creating and sending timeseries events.
Compile the indicator and launch it on the symbol chart we have not worked with for a long time (while setting working with the current symbol in the settings beforehand) and select working with the specified timeframe list. Launching the indicator on long unused symbols makes the indicator to download missing data and inform of that in the journal and on the chart:
Here we can see that each next empty timeseries has been synchronized and created at each new tick. The following entries have been displayed in the journal:
