AddDataSeries for Custom Bar Type

[Nick L]

I am trying to create a strategy that uses a custom bar type. I want to add 3 data series of this custom bar type. How should I do this for custom bar types?

I found this posted by NinjaTrader_ZacharyG:
"To utilize a custom bar type when using AddDataSeries(), for example, you would need to utilize the integer value of the bar type and cast it to BarsPeriodType.

Example:

AddDataSeries((BarsPeriodType)14, 1);

The numerical value for the bar type can be found in the bar type's BarsPeriod property."

The main issue is I did not create the custom bar type and I do not have access to the code. How can I find the BarsPeriod value of a custom bar type when I can't see the code?

Regarding knowing the base BarsPeriodType number, you would need to contact the vendor of the script and ask what number it is.

Or you can use trial and error and see if you can guess what number it is.
