BarsPeriod NT7 vs. NT 6.5?

[moflaherty]

I developed an indicator in NT7 and used the BarsPeriod class. However, when I copy the code over to create a NT6.5 indicator, it gives me this error:

Indicator\RTSwingTrader.cs The name 'BarsPeriod' does not exist in the current context CS0103 - click for info 1547 39

Am I missing an include? Or is this not supported?

Thanks!

moflaherty, code generated in NT7 would not be downwards compatible 100% of the time of course...which exact offending line is being referenced as you compile?

[moflaherty]

Code

 
if (BarsPeriod.Id.ToString() == "Day")

Since BarsPeriod is referenced in the 6.5 documentation (but for a strategy), I assume I need an include??

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Please use this for indicators in 6.5 -

if (Bars.Period.Id.ToString() == "Day") ...

[Ralph]

if (Bars.Period.Id.ToString() == "Day") ...

And the very best version is this one:

if (Bars.Period.Id == PeriodType.Day)

True Ralph, good spot.
