Add forex data series

[bradc343]

I have tried and looked everywhere on the forum I cant find anyone having the same problem I am. How do I add a forex series to an indicator and then plot the lastest price in the oscillator? I have tried many futures series and works just fine but when go to forex it plots nothing. I have tried the following:

Add("EURUSD", PeriodType.Minute, 1);
Add("@EURUSD", PeriodType.Minute, 1);
Add("$EURUSD", PeriodType.Minute, 1);

please help

thank you

code

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add("EURUSD", PeriodType.Minute, 1);
Add(new Plot(Color.Green, "Arbitage"));
Overlay = false;
}

/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

if (BarsInProgress == 1)
{
euru = Close[0];
}

Value.Set(euru);
// Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
// plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
}



not sure why this code isn't working

Hello bradc343,

Thanks for opening the thread.

I see that you have opened this thread in the NinjaTrader 8 Strategy forum, but are inquiring about a NinjaTrader 7 Indicator. I will request to have the thread move so it can be easily found.

I would advise to look at the log tab of the Control Center to look for any reported run time errors. You will see that there is an error encountered for adding a data series for "EURUSD" that mentions the instrument does not exist in the instrument manager. If you open up a chart for EURUSD, you will use "$EURUSD" and this is the syntax expected by the NinjaScript.

Plots will exist for each bar of the primary data series. I will also advise to add a CurrentBar check for CurrentBars[0] to avoid indexing issues. Checks using CurrentBars can be found here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...urrentbars.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
