Converting Chart Style Type

[aligator]

Dear support,

What is the NT8 version for this NT7 line script:

 if (ChartControl.ChartStyleType == ChartStyleType.CandleStick)
              {
                 Do Something
              }

References in Help did not help.

Many thanks

Hello aligator,

From my understanding this was not documented or officially supported for NinjaTrader 7.

I may incorrect. Do you have a link to the NinjaTrader 7 help guide on ChartControl.ChartStyleType?

(Only documented items for NT7 will be listed in the code breaking changes for NT8)

In NinjaTrader 8 this would be documented and supported. This is found in ChartBars.Properties. Below is a public link to the help guide.

Thanks Chelsea,

Unfortunately, the link is not much help to me without any examples, although the ChartStyleType is supported. The above script works in NT7 but not in NT8. I do not have access to NT7 Help.

All I am looking for is a translation of the above or an equal IF statement for NT8. What is an equal IF statement in NT8 that I can use?

Thanks.

Hello jbenton,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the forums!

Member gubbar924 was close (thank-you), you would want to test using:

if (ChartBars.Properties.ChartStyleType == ChartStyleType.Box)
{
// do something
}

Hello aligator,

If you have access to the internet you should have access to the NinjaTrader 7 help guide which is available on the internet on our website..

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/

In fact, it is important that you have access to both the NinjaTrader 7 and NinjaTrader 8 help guides.

If you are unable to access the NinjaTrader 7 help guide from the link above, please let me know so that we can diagnose.


May I confirm you are able to access the NinjaTrader 8 help guide linked below as well?

Hello aligator,

I am not able to reproduce.

Attached is a test script.

Are you able to import the script, open a NinjaScript Output window, and then add the indicator to a chart?
Does anything appear in the output window?


I was not able to confirm a previous inquiry. You mentioned you are not able to access the NinjaTrader 7 help guide. Is this still the case?

Thanks ChelseaB,

This one works fine, Thanks.

It is funny, I was using exactly the same script after nkhoi posted the example above and it would not compile. Then I deleted the _Workspace file and reopened a new instance of the Ninja Editor and the script compiled perfect.

I guess somehow a corrupt Editor page with a previously failed script was being saved as part of the _Workspace file.

Thanks to you and nkhoi for the script.
