AddDataSeries

[td_910]

Hi,

I'm using:

AddDataSeries(null, new BarsPeriod { BarsPeriodType = BarsPeriodType.Minute, Value = 5 }, "CME US Index Futures ETH");

How would the syntax be to add a bars object that has the same BarsPeriodType and Period as the primary data series?
e.g. having a 15m data series added, if the indicator is loaded on a 15m chart

Thanks
Thomas

Hello td_910,

Thanks for your post.

There is no supported way to inherit the BarsPeriodType and Period from the primary data series that the script is running on.

You would need to hardcode the added data series information you would want to use when calling AddDataSeries().

Let me know if I may assist further.

Can we add dataseries in strateggy builder? or do we haven an example of how strategy can work using two different time series? something more then info from docs?

Hello tkaboris,

Thanks for your note.

Additional data series are able to be added in a Strategy Builder strategy from the 'Additional Data screen'. For example, you could add a 1-Minute data series on this screen.

See this help guide page about the Additional Data screen of the Strategy Builder: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...onalDataScreen

You could then get indicator or price information from the added data series. We do not have a reference sample demonstrating this.

To get price data from an added series for a condition such as the close price of the added series, you could click the Price folder > Close > click 'Series 1' field > Data Series folder > select the added series > click OK.

To get indicator data from an added series, such as the SMA value of the added series, open the Indicator folder > SMA > click the 'Input series' field > Data Series folder > select the added series > click OK.

Note that you cannot submit orders to an added secondary series using the Strategy Builder. Submitting orders to an added secondary series would require unlocking the code from the Strategy Builder and manually programming your logic.

Please let me know if I may assist further.
