learning about how to make custom bar types

[llanqui]

Any advice on where to study / learn how to create a custom bar type?

tutorials?

cloning an existing and then modifying it?

I don't have the final visualization of what I want and will need to make experiments....

(I'm a coder, but am not a C# guru, I do ok by studying existing code)

would that be the starting place -- to clone existing bar types?

the first thing I want to do is to clone the Line-On-Close so that I can color it dynamically...

advice?

Hello llanqui,

Thanks or your post.

We do not have tutorials available at this time for how to create custom BarsTypes.

Further, Line-On-Close is a ChartStyles NinjaScript, not a BarsTypes NinjaScript.

You could study the LineOnCloseStyle ChartStyles code to see how this ChartStyle is programmed and you could study the ChartStyles help guide documentation linked below. The other ChartStyles that comes with NinjaTrader could also be studied to see how they are programmed.

To view the LineOnCloseStyles code, open a New > NinjaScript Editor window, open the ChartStyles folder, and double-click on the LineOnCloseStyle file.
