Ninjascript code onBarUpdate to identify chart type

03-06-2025, 01:31 PM

I went looking but having trouble finding a chart type analysis code.

In an onBarUpdate sequence I want to check if a chart is time based, and if so then below a certain time limit, for example less than 1 hour. and also whether I have a non-time based chart period.

Library location Code for this?

Thank you

I'm guessing you want Bars.BarsPeriodType. That is what I use to find the chart's bar type and period.
