Accessing Custom Bar Type From Ninja Script Code

[x703jko]

I want to use a custom bar type from within a ninja script program.

The custom bar type is accessible when I create a chart in the main NT console. However, when I try to access it from within my code (using Add(PeriodType....)) there is no option to select it.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Still not sure what to do. For a custom bar type, how do I specify the parameters required by the bar type when I use the "Add" statement in my NinjaScript code.

Hello x703jko,

Thanks for your post.

In this example: Add(PeriodType.Custom0, 1); 1 is the parameter.

How many parameters can the Add command take? I'm using a Period Type that requires three parameters.

Hello x703jko,

Thanks for your reply.

The Add statement only permits the one parameter.

If the custom bar is the unirenko type, that custom bar type permits the 1 parameter to represent all 3 of the bar specifiers. For example Add(PeriodType.Custom5, 001019009); would pass to the unirenko bar type the parameter where 001 = step size, 019 = reversal bar size and 009 is the body size.

I do know the bar code for the unirenko bar type does permit parsing in such a parameter. I cannot advise of other custom bar types.
