Custom frequency for triggering barsRequest.Update

[liborc]

Hello,

I am using the add-on framework sample addon as basis for my custom addon.

I am trying to figure out how to subscribe to real time data updates with a custom frequency - specifically, I want the OnBarUpdate() function to be triggered every minute.

I have modified the code and it does return 1-minute bars when called, but the real-time updates are still happening every tick in the OnBarUpdate method.

I fetch the bars as folliows:

barsRequest = new NinjaTrader.Data.BarsRequest(instrument, 10);
barsRequest.BarsPeriod = new NinjaTrader.Data.BarsPeriod { BarsPeriodType = BarsPeriodType.Minute, Value = 1 };
barsRequest.TradingHours = NinjaTrader.Data.TradingHours.Get("Default 24 x 7");


And I subscribe to real time data like so:

if (subscribeRealTimeData)
{
barsRequest.Update += OnBarUpdate;
}

Is the frequency of bars updates not customizable, or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you very much for any help!

Best,

Libor

Hello liborc,

Please see line 1387 of the Addon framework reference example which demonstrates how to process bars at the close of each bar rather than on each tick.
