Hello chinapassage,

Can you please tell me what you exactly mean by adaptive range bars.

I am not aware of an add-on named like this - I checked the NinjaScript File Sharing - Version 7 section, but I see nothing listed.

basically it is a range bar that ranges between x amount of tics based on volatility --- so if volatility is slow then the range bars could all be 2 tic range bars --- if volatility pics up then it could be an 8 tic range bar ----- and you could adjust the sensitivity as well ---

I see, thank you for clarifying. Unfortunately, I am not aware if such an add-on is available. I cannot find anything similar on the forum. You might like to check our supported NinjaScript consultants to see if they offer such a add-on.

I will forward your inquiry to support such a chart period type to Development and ask them if they can add this to the list of future considerations of the software.

two things i came across when searching for the same:

1. EOTPro (one of the ninja partners) has an adaptive range bar product:
