PeriodType.Renko not getting processed

[GKonheiser]

I have an indicator that I want to use on Renko and min charts. however when I use :-

if(BarsPeriod.BasePeriodType == PeriodType.Renko)

it is equating to false and

if(BarsPeriod.BasePeriodType == PeriodType.Minute)

is equating to true when I run it on Renko charts

Second question is does BarsPeriod refer to only the primary bar index or all that have been added?

Hello GKonheiser,

Thank you for your post.

BarsPeriod will refer to the primary bar series.

What you may want to be looking for is BarsPeriods:

The difference here is that it will allow you to select the other bar series that have been added to the script.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

thanks for the info but its doesn't answer my question.

When I have a renko chart I am using :-

if(BarsPeriod.BasePeriodType == PeriodType.Renko)

to separate logic that is just for Renko charts but it is not processing it, Ive been tho the script with VS and its equating to false, what am I doing wrong?

If you adding another dataseries for the Renko then are you using
"AddRenko("ES 06-10", 2, MarketDataType.Last);"
It is different from "Add("ES 12-06", PeriodType.Tick, 100);"

No its the primary bar series and the logic is not getting processed??

The syntax says that that syntax is: "Only relevant for Kagi, LineBreak, and PointAndFigure Bars objects. Possible values: ..."

You should be using BarsPeriod.Id.

Nothing stupid. We all overlook things at times. You would be surprised how many mistakes I make when I code. I am always surprised if my code works the very first time that I write it!
