 if (Instrument.MasterInstrument.InstrumentType == InstrumentType.Forex)
            {
                if (String.Compare(Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name, 0, "USD", 0, 3) == 0)
                {
                    m_pipCalcMode = 2;
                }
                else if (String.Compare(Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name, 3, "USD", 0, 3) == 0)
                {
                    m_pipCalcMode = 1;
                    m_pipValue = 10;
                }
                else
                {
                    string tmp = Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name.Substring(3, 3);
                    string FXPairName;

                    if (tmp == "JPY" || tmp == "CHF" || tmp == "CAD")
                    {
                        FXPairName = "$" + "USD" + tmp;
                        m_pipCalcMode = 4;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        FXPairName = "$" + tmp + "USD";
                        m_pipCalcMode = 3;
                    }
                    Add(FXPairName, BarsPeriod.BarsPeriodType, BarsPeriod.Value);
                }
            }

This code is in a function after the OnBarUpdate {} . In NT7 it works fine, in NT8 is giving me an error. How do I do Add() in NT8?

Basically, this section is calculating the risk to determine the lot size depening upon the value of the stop loss compared to the account balance. So it has to calcualte the value of the stop loss based upon the underlyning pair and the quoting currency. So if it is not the quoting currency, then it must add it at this function.

Hello stearno,

Thank you for writing in.

You will want to use AddDataSeries() when adding additional data series: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...dataseries.htm

I would highly suggest taking a look at the Code Breaking Changes section of the NinjaTrader 8 help guide for a high level overview of the NinjaScript changes you can expect between NinjaTrader 7 and NinjaTrader 8: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ng_changes.htm

Please, let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Yes, I know how to add a data series. But what I was trying to do something different than the normal. But I guess after thinking I can do the same thing the normal way.

Thanks for your help.
