Substitute for ^ADD Index

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello PN720,

BarsInProgress 0 is the primary series.

Are you asking how to run the logic when BarsInProgress is 0?

If you want to run the logic every 1 minute and the primary series is not 1 minute, you can add a 1 minute series with AddDataSeries() and then run on that specific BarsInProgress.


The AdvanceDecline indicator adds a 1 tick ^ADV and 1 tick ^DECL for its calculations. To call this indicator from a host script, you must add those 1 tick series to your script as well.

I thought the Support Document states that if you are running a strategy which uses an indicator which has secondary dataseries' you must add those same dataseries within the strategy. If this is true, wouldn't we have to add the ^ADV and the ^Decl dataseries within a strategy we are using it in?

quote: (From Educational Resources/Multi TimeFrame & Instruments)

Note: To maximize data loading performance, any NinjaScript object (indicator or strategy as host) which references a multi-series indicator which calls AddDataSeries must include it's own calls to AddDataSeries(). For example, if the code above was included in an indicator, and that indicator was referenced in a NinjaScript strategy, then the hosting strategy will need to include the same calls to AddDataSeries(). When the strategy adds the additional Bars objects, the calls to AddDataSeries() within the indicator will be ignored. If the Bars objects are not added by the strategy in such cases, and error will be thrown in the Log tab of the Control Center that would read - "A hosted indicator tried to load additional data. All data must first be loaded by the hosting NinjaScript in its configure state."

Hello Jim-Boulder,

Yes you need to add the series that the indicator uses when its hosted. Chelsea had mentioned that in his reply:
