Custom Bar Type

[mohawkTrader]

I have a custom indicator, where one of the inputs is the BarType parameter which can be changed.

This is working fine with the standard BarTypes provided by NinjaTrader, but I also have a custom bar type that is not listed in the drop down menu. Is there a way to add a custom BarType to the dropdown?

[NinjaScriptProperty]
[Display(Name = "CustomBarType", Description = "CustomBar", Order = 1, GroupName = "Data Parameters")]
public BarsPeriodType DataBarType
{
get { return _dataBarType; }
set { _dataBarType = value; }
}

Hello mohawkTrader,

There is not a way to modify the built in handling for the bars type display list.

Also keep in mind if this is being used for AddDataSeries that can cause problems with loading the correct data and should not be used for that purpose, there is a note about that in the AddDataSeires page under the Warning section.
