how to declair the Secondary Time Frame Instrument?

[yades]

I am wondering if it's possible to add another Bars object for a different instrument to the script, where the instrument can be declared in Parameters field in Strategy Analyzer. I am trying something like this, it compiles fine, but doesn't work, when I launch Strategy Analyzer and try to select the strategy I am unable to select my strategy. Support please could you indicate me the correct way to do this?

    #region Variables
	private string cross 		= "$EURGBP";
    #endregion

	protected override void Initialize()
	{
    Add([B]cross[/B], PeriodType.Minute, 60); // BarsArray[1]
	}
	#endregion

I noticed that it I change the instrument name in the Add() section to "$EURGBP" it works fine;

yades, I would not expect either to work honestly, as the FX instruments would need to be prefaced by a $ sign, so please try with $EURGBP

Mine was a typo, I am already using $ infront. But my query was another: what syntax should i use in the add() field to be able to type different string value in the parameter section in market analyser?

Oh ok, I see - to be able to make this a user input please check into this link - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=5782

What you seek would be user input of type String.

Alright, lets take it a step back, though you wanted more flexibility by not hardcoding the instrument in.

Do you get any errors in the NT log tab running your script? Do you have a CurrentBars check in for both series?
