Bars.Instrument.InstrumentType

[blar58]

I am developing an indicator that will be used with many different instrument types like futures, stocks, forex....

If I use the following syntax will that catch all possibilities.

 TickSize=Bars.Instrument.MasterInstrument.TickSize;

or should I use this

if(Instrument.MasterInstrument.InstrumentType == InstrumentType.Future)
   TickSize=Bars.Instrument.MasterInstrument.TickSize;
            
 if(Instrument.MasterInstrument.InstrumentType == InstrumentType.Stock)
TickSize=0.01;
            
 if(Instrument.MasterInstrument.InstrumentType == InstrumentType.Currency)
TickSize=0.0001;

blar - Those are a few of the types, also Index included.

TickSize is a (provided) instrument level property already designed to return the TickSize of the instrument the script is applied to. You don't have to assign it a value in order to use.
