Adding Second Renko Bars Set

[elitetradernyc]

Hey guys, what is the syntax for adding a second series for Renko Bars? like
Add(PeriodType.Minute, 10);

But for Renko?

Please use the AddRenko() here instead then - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...htsub=AddRenko

Hi guys, how about for adding a second series for BetterRenko, would it be for 1 tick betterrenko bar?

Add(PeriodType.Custom4, 1);

Yes, if BetterRenko used that 'slot' - you would need to check into it's source to find out, but one of the .Customs it usually would be.

I would like to use the AddRenko() method and have the code identify the full name of the future contract I am using (ie.g. ES 06-14).... something like ...

 
 string instrument = this.Instrument.FullName;
 this.AddRenko(instrument, myPeriod, MarketDataType.Last);

But it is only picking up the "ES" part, and not the "06-14" part ... can I do this?

That should be doable AnotherTrader, yes. How do you determine it's only using the Master instrument without expiry?

Hi, Bertrand

I get the error message in NT log ...

The strategy myStrategy has called the Add() method with an invalid instrument. Either 'ES' does not exist in the Instrument Manager or the specified exchange has not been configured.

Hi, Bertrand

I get the error message in NT log ...

Sorry! I muddled up the errror message with a prior version of the code (where I used Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name instead of Instrument.FullName ...

... it does work. Sorry for muddying the waters!
