BarsType inheritance not supported completely?

[TiggerTrader]

I've developed a custom BarType based on MinuteBarsType:

public class MyMinuteBarsType : MinuteBarsType

. However, there is no way to utilize the custom PeriodType registration for example:

public MyMinuteBarsType() : base(PeriodType.Custom2)

You get the error

'NinjaTrader.Data.MinuteBarsType' does not contain a constructor the takes '1' arguments

If I use BarTypes as the base for my inheritance, then indicators, such as BarTimer don't see my bar type a a Minute type bar. BarTimer fails to recognize the BarTypes derived class as a minute type:

if (Bars.Period.Id == PeriodType.Minute || Bars.Period.Id == PeriodType.Second)

even tho the BarTypes derived class uses

        public override PeriodType BuiltFrom
        {
            get { return PeriodType.Minute; }
        }

So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. If I derive from BarsType, I can't be seen as a MinuteBarsType. If I derive from MinuteBarsType, I can't "register" as a custom PeriodType.

Am I missing something?

Hello TiggerTrader,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately, custom bar types are unsupported in NinjaTrader 7. Custom bar types will be supported in NinjaTrader 8. You can find the list of major enhancements at the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/downloads...njaTrader8.pdf
