Creating Custom Bar Type

[ark321]

Any idea how to create the attached custom data series inside an indicator? The output from BarsTypeIndicator gives 103 for this bar type.

Appreciate any help

Hello ark321,

It would be necessary to know what was coded in the script.

The bar type is likely using SetPropertyName to reused one of the available properties.

From the help guide:
"2. You can add a custom BarsType which is installed on your system by casting the registered enum value for that BarsPeriodType. For example: AddDataSeries((BarsPeriodType)103, 10);

3. You can specify optional BarsPeriod values (such as Value2) of a custom BarsType in the BarsPeriod object initializer. For example: AddDataSeries(new BarsPeriod() { BarsPeriodType = (BarsPeriodType)103, Value = 10, Value2 = 20 });"

Below is a link to helpful script that lists the IDs for each bar type.

For example the UniRenko bar type re-uses BaseBarsPeriodValue, Value, and Value2 and would be called with AddDataSeries() as:
AddDataSeries(new BarsPeriod(){BarsPeriodType = (BarsPeriodType) 2018, Value = 2, Value2 = 6, BaseBarsPeriodValue = 2});

Thanks for the pointers. How can I find out which property type is used in the Bar Type?

Hello ark321,

You would need to open the script for editing in the NinjaScript Editor.

If the script is a closed source assembly from a 3rd party, you would need to contact the vendor or author that distributed the software to you for assistance using their software.
