Count the number of Add(), plots.

[clocker]

How can I count the number of Add()? I'd like to know how many stock "data series" are in existence.
Also how do you count the number of plots?

Hello clocker,
If you use the below code then can you get the plot counts.

int plotCount = Plots.Length;

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.

Thanks, but more important how about counting added stock dataseries like Add("NITE", PeriodType.Day, 1);?

Hello clocker,
You can check that with the BarsArray property

BarsArray.Length

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.

I used BarArray.Length but I got 1 more listed than I've added (I commented out all plots too) which is the extra array is it counting and is it possible to get the type (plot or stock) or the name of array stored?

Hello clocker,
Plots, BarsArray are arrays. They are zero based.

BarsArray[0] -- refers to the primary bar series
...

BarsArray[BarsArray.Length - 1] -- refers to the last secondary series.


Can you tell me the code snippet you are using.

I run this in Initialize()

Overlay= false;
Add("AKSO.OL", PeriodType.Day, 1);
Add("ALGETA.OL", PeriodType.Day, 1);

then I run in OnBarUpdate()

print(BarArray.Length);

Hello clocker,
You will get 3 as the result.

The first bar is the primary bar series (on which you have applied the NinjaScript code). The first secondary bar series will be that of AKSO.OL and the second secondary series will be that of ALGETA.OL
