New composite BarsType from a basket of instruments?

06-18-2024, 04:26 AM

Hi,
I would like to create a new composite BarsType which is made up of a basket of symbols based on some calculations. To make it easier, let's say the basket symbol consists of two instruments, SPY and DIA. Questions:
1) How can I set the properties for the two symbols (i.e. symbols, timeframe etc for the two instruments)?
2) How do I read the data series?
3) In the code where functions do I need to override?

Thank-you for any help.
Regards,
iq

Unfortunately, bar types cannot use multiple sources.

I would recommend doing this in an indicator instead. This could overlay rectangles over the bars on the chart.

Below are links to examples.
