^SP500 data

[soulfx]

I have a subscription to this Index on IQFeed and get data fine and real time using standard ninja minute second bars and even works with Renko which has tick as builtfrom ...
Is there any restriction as to the real-time display of this data as when i try using a custom bar type i have written - when i load the chart all looks good but then no real time updates are coming through. If i reload all historical i get up to date then stops - i have a 30 sec ninja bar running alongside getting updates so i know the subscription is fine.
Any insight
thanks

Hello soulfx,

Are other bar types forming new bars like a 100 Tick chart?

Try using a custom bar type from the User App Share. Does this make new bars?

If other bar types are forming new bars and yours is not, then likely the AddBar() method is not be called in the logic of the script.

Debug the script using prints to confirm that OnDataPoint() is updating, and that your logic calling AddBar() is being reached.

Below is a link to a forum post on using Print() to understand behavior.

Thanks Chelsea, i did already put some prints in at the OnDataPoint() call - seems i had extra data checks to filter some things and for SP500 it stopped the process and returned
All resolved now and i stripped down to another custom bar type
thanks for suggestions
