How to add custom charts in strategy?

[topor]

Hello!

How to add custom charts as second dataseries in indicators and strateges?

I identified the type of custom bars - it is PeriodType.Final2

I use the following code:

protected override void Initialize()
{
Overlay = true;
Add(PeriodType.Final2, 1);
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if(BarsInProgress == 0)
{
Print("BarsInProgress == 0 Close[0] = " + Close[0]);
}
if(BarsInProgress == 1)
{
Print("BarsInProgress == 1 Close[0] = " + Close[0]);
}
}

In Output window i get this:

BarsInProgress == 1 Close[0] = 51,1
BarsInProgress == 1 Close[0] = 51,11
BarsInProgress == 0 Close[0] = 51,08
BarsInProgress == 0 Close[0] = 51,09
BarsInProgress == 0 Close[0] = 51,1
BarsInProgress == 0 Close[0] = 51,11
BarsInProgress == 0 Close[0] = 51,12
BarsInProgress == 1 Close[0] = 51,12
BarsInProgress == 1 Close[0] = 51,11
BarsInProgress == 1 Close[0] = 51,1
BarsInProgress == 1 Close[0] = 51,09
BarsInProgress == 1 Close[0] = 51,1
BarsInProgress == 1 Close[0] = 51,11
BarsInProgress == 1 Close[0] = 51,12
BarsInProgress == 0 Close[0] = 51,13
BarsInProgress == 1 Close[0] = 51,13

That is the second dataseries added and doing something.

Hello topor,

Thank you for your post.

You are using the correct syntax for Add(), but you need to reference the values for the bar type. So if it uses a base period type, a value for the base and any other values (such as it's own value of course).
Which is information you can find by going to the chart and right clicking and looking at the Data Series menu.

Otherwise there is no information in NinjaTrader on those custom bar types that you could pull for the correct syntax.
