It's nice to be able to place additional Barsarray objects onto a chart in the Initialize module using the Add method, but this seems to be a good way to generate indicators that plot flat lines or crash. Usually the method will work, but it's not unusual for the ADDed BarsArray object to have a Count of Zero, causing the indicator to plot a flat line. Then, if Ninjatrader is restarted the ADDed BarsArray objects sometimes will come in and sometimes they won't. Or sometimes Ninjatrader will crash with a stack overflow.
Because the Add method is used in the Initialize module, where Bars Array properties are not available, there is no way to tell there if the Add() operation was successful, or to do anything about a failure.
Heaven help you if you try to Dispose() of a BarsArray object in OnTermination(), which will cause a really nasty crash.
This supposed capability is not living up to reasonable expectations. There seem to be serious under the hood problems with Add().
"Unfortunately this is beyond the scope...."
