HI I see that you rewrote unirenko bars to NT8. what would be you suggested approach to code these type of bar anticipated closing levels using unirenko bars?

Hello tkaboris,

The work I did was to copy and paste the logic into nt8 in the respective methods and correct any errors. The logic I didn't even read through.

"This is a conversion of the UniRenko ‐ Universal Renko BarType developed and originally coded for the NinjaTrader 7 platform by monpere."

That said, just glancing at the script, I can see the main condition for a new bar on line 138. The logic setting the variables for that condition is on lines 130-131, and 100 to 107.

Its comparing the current price (Close) to the previous bar close plus / minus trendoffset times bardirection (which is calculated when the previous bar closes on line 141).

What would you use for draw method? to draw those lines?

Hello tkaboris,

Yes, once you have the price you can draw at that price a horizontal line, or draw a line over / under the bar to the previous bar, or custom render a line. It's up to you.

thank you. This is a bartype and not regular indicator. I cant do prints inside that custom bartype. how would i reference/initialize indicator to that custom bartype? Like a regular indicator?

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello tkaboris,

Just open a chart to the bar type and add the indicator.
The logic you would be adapting in the indicator.

This is not an added secondary series with AddDataSeries() correct?

[tkaboris]

no, its not secondary series..

[tkaboris]

still little unclear how i reference a bartype. thisClose is value from bartype

if i simply have this in indicator it says thisClose is not in hte context...
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

Print(thisClose);
}

Hello tkaboris,

The close will be Close[0].

hi i have a strategy that adds unirenko as secondary time frame.

AddDataSeries(this.Instrument.FullName, new BarsPeriod { BarsPeriodType = (BarsPeriodType)2018, BaseBarsPeriodValue = 10, Value = 10, Value2 = 30 });

How can i print bar settings from secondary timeframe on primary chart? if i print this line it prints bar settings from primary, but i want to print bar settings from secondary

Name = string.Format("{0} UniRenko T{0}R{1}O{2}", BarsPeriod.Value, BarsPeriod.Value2, BarsPeriod.BaseBarsPeriodValue);

Hello tkaboris,

The added series bars object will be BarsArray[1].

Below is a link to the help guide.

The BarsArray[1].BarsPeriod has information about the bar series.
