How to read time period of data series?

[stevenev]

Hi,

I am developing a strategy for automated execution.

I want the strategy to work in multiple time frames, using different logic. So how do I dynamically read the time period of a data series into ninjascript, so I can execute different code blocks.

I am referring to the primary data series, as the periodicity of the Add'ed data series are known.

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
You can check the primary dataseries period type and value by checking the BarsPeriod.
For example if I wanted to check if the primary data series is a 5 minute bar I would do the following :

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if(BarsPeriod.Id == PeriodType.Minute && BarsPeriod.Value == 5)
//Do Something
}

For more information on the BarsPeriod property please see the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...barsperiod.htm

If we can be of any other assistance please let us know.
