Bars.Period.Value

[rwbil]

I have looked through the contents and searched, but I cannot find information regarding the Bars values. I found methods under Bars such as GetBar. Where does the help discuss this??

Hello rwbil,

Are you referring to the BarsPeriod.Value?

Below is a link to the help guide on BarsPeriod.
http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...barsperiod.htm

Let me know if this is not what you are looking for.

I will look. I guess that is it, but I was looking at the following code which compiles and runs.

int margin = (Bars.Period.Value - (int)((High[0] - Low[0]) / TickSize));

Does it know Bars.Period.Value is BarsPeriod.value?

Hello rwbil,

Bars.Period.Value is not in the help guide and not supported to use. I am unsure of how this works. However, the supported way to find the bar type is to use BarsPeriod.Id and BarsPeriod.Value.

I see it also in the Unirenko bar type from your website shown below. Plus other bar. parameters


public UniRenkoBarsType() : base(PeriodType.Custom5) { }

static bool registered = Register(new UniRenkoBarsType());
double barOpen;
double barMax;
double barMin;
double fakeOpen=0;

int barDirection=0;
double openOffset=0;
double trendOffset=0;
double reversalOffset=0;

bool maxExceeded=false;
bool minExceeded=false;

double tickSize=0.01;

public override void Add(Bars bars, double open, double high, double low, double close, DateTime time, long volume, bool isRealtime)
{
//### First Bar
if ((bars.Count == 0) || bars.IsNewSession(time, isRealtime))
{
tickSize = bars.Instrument.MasterInstrument.TickSize;

trendOffset = bars.Period.Value * bars.Instrument.MasterInstrument.TickSize;
reversalOffset = bars.Period.Value2 * bars.Instrument.MasterInstrument.TickSize;
//bars.Period.BasePeriodValue = bars.Period.Value; //### Remove to customize OpenOffset

Hello rwbil,

There are NinjaScripts in the forums that do use unsupported code.

Officially, using a bar type that is not included with NinjaTrader is not supported by NinjaTrader.

Is BarsPeriod.Value not working for you?
