Add a second instrument with same properties as the first one.

[jbesada]

Hello,
In an Indicator, I want to create a second instrument with the same parameters (Period, Value, etc.) of the first one.
I have used BarsPeriod for that purpose. Code looks like this:
protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(m_strSlaveInstrument, BarsPeriod.Id, BarsPeriod.Value, BarsPeriod.MarketDataType);
...
}
It works fine almost time but for any reason sometime BarsPeriod is not initialized and BarsPeriod.Value returns -1, and the process stop.
Maybe I am doing something wrong, is there any other way to do the same?

Thank you

Hello jbesada,
Unfortunately we do not recommend to use BarsPeriod.Id etc in the initialize section of the code. It may work or may not work due to the race conditions.

If you need to assign a dynamic value you can assign some custom inputs (properties) which you can assign via the NinjaScript codes parameters dialog.
