new Methods

The "index" that is the parameter to the Calculate method, is the index of the series that the instance is attached to. The series of other timeframes / symbols have different indexes. So, to get the index of a specific series you would need to use a method such as GetIndexByTime and GetindexbyExactTime.

example:

        MarketSeries series;

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            series = MarketData.GetSeries(Symbol, TimeFrame.Daily);
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            var index2 = series.OpenTime.GetIndexByExactTime(MarketSeries.OpenTime.LastValue);
            if (index2 > 0)
                var close = series.Close[index2];
        }

The difference between the two is that GetIndexByTime returns the closest index to the open time, whereas the GetindexbyExactTime will only return an index if there is one at the exact time and will return -1 otherwise.

Ok, so in this post you use a function:

/forum/whats-new/1463

 private int GetIndexByDate(MarketSeries series, DateTime time)
        {
            for (int i = series.Close.Count - 1; i > 0; i--)
            {
                if (time == series.OpenTime[i])
                    return i;
            }
            return -1;
        }

We don't need to use this function or multitime frames anymore? because its implemented as a method, correct?

Yes that is correct.
