Secondary Data Series question. Use Chart Trading Hours?

[davydhnz]

Hi,

I want to be able to control how many bars to load on secondary data series.

I only found one syntax that allows for "barToLoad":

AddDataSeries(string instrumentName, BarsPeriod barsPeriod, int barsToLoad, string tradingHoursName, bool? isResetOnNewTradingDay)

I want it to copy the chart's instrumentName and tradingHoursName.

I've used Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name for string instrumentName.
Is there a similar code to grab the chart's currently selected tradingHoursName?

p.s. question, the isResetOnNewTradingDay code, how exactly does that opperate?

Thanks!

Hello davydhnz,

Thank you for your post.

If you want the instrument and the trading hours to be the same on the added data series, you can use null for the values.

IsResetOnNewTradingDay indicates if the bars series is using the Break at End Of Day data series property.

I tried that

AddDataSeries(null, (BarsPeriodType.Minute, 1440), 2, null, false);

but how do I set Minute and period 1440?

Thank you.

Nevermind, I worked it out *facepalm*

AddDataSeries(null, new BarsPeriod { BarsPeriodType = BarsPeriodType.Minute, Value = 15 }, 2, null, false);

Thanks Gaby
