Lifecycle of a BarType

[Louis335]

Which of the states mentioned in NT8 manual are available to BarTypes (SetDefaults / SetConfigure / Active etc) ?
Is there a 'DataLoaded' state in BarTypes, and if not, what would be the best method to achieve a similar result.

Many thanks,
Louis

Hello Louis335,

For any type you can use the following print to track its lifetime and what states it hits:

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
            Print(State);
}

A bars type active state is State.Active. Depending on what you are trying to do that would either be in State.Configure or State.Active for the BarsType.

You can also reference the following list of types which shows their active state and also provides explanations for when you may see each state: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...=onstatechange


I look forward to being of further assistance.
