How to detect, if current Bars/Chart is "last/bid/ask" type?

[ttodua]

When we choose (from Dataseries format window) the chart to be based on either Last/Bid/Ask,
then inside indicator, how we detect whichever one is chosen for current Bars? `Bars.BarsPeriod.BarsPeriodType` only returns the period-type, but not MarketDataType. So, how to retrieve that MDT property?

Hello ttodua,
You can do as below:

protected override void OnMarketData(MarketDataEventArgs mdt)
{
if(mdt.MarketDataType == MarketDataType.Last)
{
// your code
}

Hope it helps!

Hello ttodua,

Thanks for your post.

As stated by s.kinra and bltdavid, you could use BarsPeriod.MarketDataType to get the primary Bars object time frame (period type and interval).

See this help guide documentation for more information: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...barsperiod.htm
