Hello pman777,

Thank you for your note.

So I may best answer your question could you please provide more information on what you mean by a custom period type? For example, are you asking how to add a 8 minute additional series?

I look forward to your reply.

Hello pman777,

if you have custom bar type that you would like to use in the Add() method you would call the Custom type that it is using for example:

Add(PeriodType.Custom0, 1);

Below you can find more information on adding custom bar types via Add.
