Custom chart style in version 8.1.4.1

[ntsomeone]

Hello NinjaTrader team,

I use a custom OHLC chart style. Since I updated to the current version 8.1.4.1 I get following message in the log: "MultipleChartStyles with the same ChartStyleType were found. Ignoring NinjaTraderNinjaScriptChartStyles.[...]".

I cannot choose my custom chart style in charts any more. How can I fix this? What is it about "the same ChartStyle Type"? Of course there is the built-in OHLC. But my custom chart style worked until the latest update.

Thank you.

Hello Andreas,

With custom bar types and with custom chart styles a unique ID must be chosen. If two scripts use the same ID, only one of them will show in the 'Type' list if a bar type, or the 'Chart Styles' list if a Chart Style.

The first 17 IDs for BarsPeriodType are reserved by NinjaTrader.
The first 13 ChartStyle IDs are reserved by NinjaTrader.

Example from the help guide:
BarsPeriod = new BarsPeriod { BarsPeriodType = (BarsPeriodType)123456, BarsPeriodTypeName = "MyCustomBars", Value = 1 };

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/barsperiod.htm

ChartStyleType = (ChartStyleType) 80;

Below is a link to helpful script that lists the IDs for each bar type.

As well as a link that lists the IDs for each chart style.
