Printing Secondary with Volumetric Being the Primary

[Tmaninc]

In my strategy I have my Primary as a Volumetric Tick Chart and the Secondary a 30 Sec Chart. Im trying to use BarsInProgress to print the Secondary price but its not doing it. Under State.Configure I have the timeframe, "AddDataSeries("MNQ 03-21", Data.BarsPeriodType.Second, 30, Data.MarketDataType.Last)". If I take away the Volumetric bars in OnBarUpdate, BarsInProgress == 1 works.

This is what i have using the example in the manual. [url]https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/?order_flow_volumetric_bars2.htm[/url]


else if (State == State.Configure)
{
AddDataSeries("MNQ 03-21", Data.BarsPeriodType.Second, 30, Data.MarketDataType.Last);
}

}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

if (Bars == null)
return;

NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.BarsTypes.VolumetricBarsTy pe barsType = Bars.BarsSeries.BarsType as
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.BarsTypes.VolumetricBarsTy pe;

if (barsType == null)
return;

// Trying to Print 30 Sec Period
if (BarsInProgress == 1)
{
Print(Convert.ToString(Times[1][0]) + Closes[1][0]);
}

How can I get the 30 sec to print with volumetric data?

Hello Tmaninc,

Thanks for your post.


What is happening is that the code for the volumetric bars is being applied to the non-volumetric 30-second bars because you have not isolated the volumetric code to BarsInProgress 0 (chart bars).

You need to encapsulate as follows:

[I][B]if (BarsInProgress == 0)[/B]
[B]{[/B]
if (Bars == null)
return;

NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.BarsTypes.VolumetricBarsTy pe barsType = Bars.BarsSeries.BarsType as
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.BarsTypes.VolumetricBarsTy pe;

if (barsType == null)
return;
[B]}[/B][/I]
