Hello Lopat,

Thanks for your post.

We do not have any tutorials or videos available for learning how to program custom bar types in NinjaScript.

That said, you could view the BarsTypes scripts that come default with NinjaTrader to get an idea for how BarsTypes are programmed in NinjaScript.

To view the BarsTypes scripts that come default with NinjaTrader, open a New > NinjaScript Editor window, open the BarsTypes folder, and double-click on the BarsType script you want to view.

This help guide page also contains information about the available methods and properties related to programming custom BarsTypes: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../bars_type.htm

This forum thread will be open for other community members to share their insights on third-party tutorials or videos they are aware of.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

It would help to make the BarsType class open source.

I just came across this guy on YouTube who claims to have a code walk-through of his renko bar: https://youtu.be/052uzbD-pUA. I haven't picked it up yet so I don't know if it's good or not.

In my experience, custom bar types can really give your trading strategy an edge. If you want to dive deeper into the research aspect of trading, I highly recommend checking out this sample research literature review I came across: https://literaturereviewwritingservi...review-sample/ It's like a flashlight in a dark tunnel of academic literature. Trust me, it's worth reading. Anyway, back to custom bar types - they can be game-changing, especially if you tailor them to your specific trading style. So, accept the setup and happy trading!
