Getting Instrument RTH

[Magzor]

Hi ChelseaB, thanks, thats very helpful! When using the AddDataSeries() is it possible to have it use the same candle settings as the active chart?

Hello Magzor,

Thanks for your note.

You could use the AddDataSeries() syntax below to specify the Trading Hours template you want to use when you add an additional series to the script.

AddDataSeries(string instrumentName, BarsPeriod barsPeriod, string tradingHoursName)

The instrumentName argument could be set to a blank string, such as " ", to set the added series to use the same instrument on the chart. However, you must specify the BarsPeriod type and value when adding your additional series.

An example of how the BarsPeriod might look could be seen in the sample code of the BarsPeriod help guide page linked below.

See the help guide documentation below for more information.

BarsPeriod: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...barsperiod.htm

Let me know if I may assist further.

Hi Brandon,
Thanks for your reply. I'm actually quite stuck gettting the session iterator to work. I have a multi-time series indicator. The bars array I use for session reference is index 5.

else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{

//stores the sessions once bars are ready, but before OnBarUpdate is called
sessionIterator = new SessionIterator(BarsArray[5]);​
}

Here's how I've added the time series (at the bottom):

else if (State == State.Configure)
{
// Bars Array 0 is the trigger bar, should be the lowest

// 1 is the cumulative Delta 1 tick
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Tick, 1); //add 1 tick bar chart for CD indicator

// 2 is 5 min
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 5); // add 5min bars

// 3 is 15 min
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 15); // add 15min bars

// 4 is 60 min
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 60); // add 1hour bars

// 5 is session iterator RTH chart reference
AddDataSeries("ES", new BarsPeriod { BarsPeriodType = BarsPeriodType.Minute, Value = 15 }, "US Equities RTH");
}

And this is were I'm a bit stuck. How do I use the code example from the docs (https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../?8_0_27_0.htm) in a multi time series indicator?

So for example, I have Bar X in BasArray[0] and I want to check if it's within the range of BarsArray[5] for that day. I guess I first need to check that the session Iterator exist, and so there might be an issue that I set it to 15 min, when array0 can be as low as a few seconds per bar.. So to be sure I guess I need to match those bar periods (which also seems a bit overkill just to check if we're inside a time range). Would it then me more efficient to just loop through the bar array 5 and check if it is the same date, and if it is, then get the high and the low value..?)

Hehey, I think I managed to solve it now, there was a multitimeframe example in here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../?8_0_27_0.htm

Hello Magzor,

Thanks for your note.

The SessionIterator help guide page's sample code demonstrates how to get the begin time and end time of a session. You could use that sample code and pass in BarsArray[5] when instantiating the session iterator in State.DataLoaded to get information about that added series.

else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
    //stores the sessions once bars are ready, but before OnBarUpdate is called
    sessionIterator = new SessionIterator(BarsArray[5]);
}​

You could then get the begin time and end time of that added series using the OnBarUpdate() code seen on the SessionIterator help guide page.

See this help guide page for more information about SessionIterator and the sample code: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...oniterator.htm

Let me know if I may further assist you.
