Chart Type

[Zeos6]

I may have missed it, but is there a quick way to check programmatically if you have an intraday chart, day chart, etc? Also, how about if you have a tick chart or a vol chart, ..?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello Zeos6,

Thanks for opening the thread.

You can use BarsPeriod to tell you about the primary data series.

Here are a couple conditions as an example.

Detects if the primary data series is tick based.

if (BarsPeriod.BarsPeriodType == BarsPeriodType.Tick)
{
}

Detects if the data series is a minute chart with a period less than 1440. (There are 1440 minutes in a day.)

if (BarsPeriod.BarsPeriodType == BarsPeriodType.Minute && BarsPeriod.Value < 1440)
{
}

BarsPeriod can be referenced here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...barsperiod.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further help.

Hi Jim,

Thank you. This is helpful. I guess there is no quick way to differentiate intraday from non-intraday charts and I have to check each type separately. I also notice you mention the 1440 min per day but that will not work for RTH day bar.
