Pnf Help

[LakeViewCap]

Hi Guys need a little help,

I have a piece of code which works with time bars and its as follow:

            
else if (State == State.Configure)
            {
                AddDataSeries(Inst1, BarsPeriodType.Minute, timeframe);/// Leg1   BarsInProgress 1
                AddDataSeries(Inst2, BarsPeriodType.Minute, timeframe);/// Leg2   BarsInProgress 2

                Leg1 = new Series<double>(this);
                   Leg2 = new Series<double>(this);
            }
        }​

where timeframe is simply declare above int timeframe = 30;


Want to change this code to work with PnF chart:

else if (State == State.Configure)
{
AddDataSeries(Inst1, BarsPeriodType.PointAndFigure, timeframe);/// Leg1 BarsInProgress 1
AddDataSeries(Inst2, BarsPeriodType.PointAndFigure, timeframe);/// Leg2 BarsInProgress 2

Leg1 = new Series<double>(this);
Leg2 = new Series<double>(this);
}
}
​

but how do I reference timeframe above now?

Hello LakeViewCap,

To add point and figure charts you can use AddPointAndFigure:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...int+and+figure

As a side note I see you are using variables for the instrument name and other parameters, keep in mind that will fail in certain use cases. This is documented in all of the Add data pages:

Arguments supplied to AddDataSeries() should be hardcoded and NOT dependent on run-time variables which cannot be reliably obtained during State.Configure (e.g., Instrument, Bars, or user input). Attempting to add a data series dynamically is NOT guaranteed and therefore should be avoided.

yeah my question is on the "timeframe" variable....


those vars are hardcoded:

string Inst1= "NQ MAR24";
string Inst2= "ES MAR24";
