Constructor Series(Bars) is obsolete

[kevinenergy]

when instantiating a Series<> object to store data from a secondary series, I get a deprecation warning:



What is the correct way to instantiate this class?

Hello kevinenergy,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Series<T>(bars) is a valid constructor for creating a series. This is listed on the following help guide page:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/seriest.htm

There are many warnings that come from the NinjaTrader.Custom project. Using Visual Studio can even result in additional warnings that do not show up in the NinjaScript Editor. The warning you have mentioned may be safely ignored. The particular constructor in the warning may be marked as obsolete because typically the MaximumBarsLookBack would be set in the UI rather than controlling it from the constructor.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

NinjaTrader_Emily If you're not planning to remove the constructor, it should not be marked as deprecated. Using the deprecated tag in the way you have described (because you anticipate that usually, the user will set it from the UI) is inappropriate and not what the deprecated tag is for.

The deprecated tag is to clearly articulate that the feature will be removed in a near-term future release and you have just stated that is not the case so unless there is some misunderstanding, that tag does not belong there.

It seems probable that NT has simply turned off deprecated tags from showing at all in the NinjaScript Editor.
