Proper AddDataSeries syntax for Day and Week

[benjamin$]

Hello!

What is the appropriate way to add the data series for the day and week bars.

I have successfully added the 15 minute, 30 minute, and 2 hour bars using the following format in State == State.Configure:

AddDataSeries(null, BarsPeriodType.Minute, 15);
AddDataSeries(null, BarsPeriodType.Minute, 30);
AddDataSeries(null, BarsPeriodType.Minute, 120);

But when I try to add the day and week bars using the same format:

AddDataSeries(null, BarsPeriodType.Day, 1);
AddDataSeries(null, BarsPeriodType.Week,1);

It doesn't load anything and actually prevents the rest of my bars from loading.

Thank you for your help.

Hello benjamin$,

Thanks for your post.

The second sample code set in the AddDataSeries() help guide page demonstrates adding a secondary Day series to the script. The same would need to be done for adding a secondary Week series.

From the help guide: AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Day, 1);

Something you could do is open a New > Strategy Builder window, navigate to the Additional Data section of the Builder, add a secondary Day and Week series, then click the 'View code' button to see the generated syntax.

Note that secondary bars series added to a script would not appear on a chart when the strategy is enabled. These are simply used for calculations in the script.
