How do I add 3LPB chart to an indicator?

[zwentz]

I want to add a 3LPB dataseries for my indicator to calculate on, but I'm having trouble grokking it.

protected override void Initialize()
        {
			Add(Instrument.FullName,PeriodType.LineBreak,1024);
        }

What I want is to add a 3LPB 1024 tick dataseries. I don't get where to specify ticks though.

Hi Zwentz,

You can use AddLineBreak() for this:

Ah, I should have searched first, my mistake, thanks Ryan.

Reviving an older thread here. How would you Add a custom LineBreak bar type since you need a completely specialized AddLineBreak to just add the standard version?

Hello,

Thanks for the forum post Dan.

Unfortunately would not be able to add this in code at this time and no supported methods for doing this.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks Brett, I kinda knew that but posted so that you could make it a request for the future. We would need a new generic Add function for these different types of charts.
