pointO bar no longer works so I copy Rang bar and name it rangePlus but needs help

[nkhoi]

range bar = new bar when there is a new range, no new bar when price repeats the range
range bar plus = new bar even when price repeats the same range.
I am not sure where to add the new bar of the same range.

Hello nkhoi,

This updates on every data value. On what conditions do you want to call AddBar()?

What do you mean by repeats the same range? Do you mean hits the low without making a new bar and then hits the high without making a new bar?
What are the specific rules?

the range = 20 ticks, if it moves 20 ticks then it should add a new bar
pointO is still working in NT7 so I include it here for illustration

Hello nkhoi,

If you want the behavior to be the same as the NT7 script, I would recommend copying the logic from this, and updating any code breaking changes.

Regarding "the range = 20 ticks, if it moves 20 ticks then it should add a new bar".

So if the barClose is greater than barOpen + 20 * bars.Instrument.MasterInstrument.TickSize then call AddBar()?

thanks for the hint, I comment out this line and it seems to work again, what will be the code breaking for this line?
(bars.IsResetOnNewTradingDay && bars.SessionIterator.IsNewSession(time, isBar)
-- NT error
'NinjaTrader.Data.Bars' does not contain a definition for 'SessionIterator' and
no extension method 'SessionIterator' accepting a first argument of type 'NinjaTrader.Data.Bars'

Hello nkhoi,

The SessionIterator code has changed.

The code you have in RangePlus would be correct.

if (SessionIterator == null)
SessionIterator = new SessionIterator(bars);

isNewSession = SessionIterator.IsNewSession(time, isBar);

if (isNewSession)
SessionIterator.GetNextSession(time, isBar);
