New chart type based on spread

[doppietta]

Hi all,

I'm a new NT user and I'd like to know is it possible to code a new chart type (it seems to me to understand that NT call them BarTypes) with the following logic:
the bars of that graph should be a weigthed linear combination made of three (or more) instruments.

Ideally, I'd like to initialize such chart type with something linke that:

...(Instrument2, Instrument3, Weigth1, Weigth2, Weigth3)

and I'd like to plot bars created as: Weigth1*Instrument1 + Weigth2*Instrument2 + Weigth3*Instrument3


Thanks.

Hello doppietta, and thank you for your question.

A BarsType is intended to take data that has already been processed and turned into a Series, and to simply display it to the end user. Since you are discussing processing incoming Instrument data, an Indicator is more appropriate for this application.

Attached is a code sample that accomplishes this goal. Code samples we provide are for educational purposes, and are not intended for live trading, and are not guaranteed to accomplish any user goal or to be maintained. It is likely code changes in the future will break this code.
