does PeriodType.Tick consider MarketDataType ?

[number1]

Hi NinjaTrader,

When adding an instrument for a OnBarUpdate, does the MarketDataType (Bid,Ask,Last) apply to PeriodType.Tick? It is a parameter option, but I am wondering if it is ignored for PeriodType.Tick.

I ask, as some price sources consider a tick to be any update regardless of Bid,Ask, Last, etc. changes.

Thus, does PeriodType.Tick with MarketDataType.Bid give ticks caused by changes in Bid only?

Thank you for your time.

---------------------

Nevermind, not adding the parameter causes a compiler error, so I must assume it does distinguish ticks with MarketDataType. I assume MarketDataType.Bid ticks are bid price changes only and not bidsize? Sorry to bother. Thanks

No worries Number1, if you don't specify the type to explicitly use for the added series it would use whatever you setup the primary series with. OnBarUpdate() would only deal with bar update / price change events. If you want to work on other Level 1 data change events (such as bidsize volume change, https://www.ninjatrader.com/support/...aeventargs.htm) OnMarketData would be ideal. This is a realtime only method though for NT7.
