Find Corresponding BarIndex

[z11]

Hello All,

If I am running an EFS in a 3 minute Chart, say at BarIndex of -70, how can I find the corresponding bar index of an external time frame, say 5 minute?

Specifically, say I am calling an efsExternal from a 3 minute chart, and the external time frame in which the efsExternal will be running is 5 minute, and I pass the current bar index (during backtesting) of the 3 minute chart as a parameter to the efsExternal, how can I utilize that information within the external efs to find what corresponding bar in 5 minute time frame?

Thank you,

ziggy

my suggestion.

instead of passing barindex, pass "rawtime" from the 3 minute chart, then use a comparison (> or < or =) on the 5 minute chart. You should be able to find the same bar pretty easily.
