Custom Bar Data Series

[Ionradio]

I'm adding a data series with a custom bar type into a strategy. With the help of some other forum posts, I have the custom bar loaded into the strategy with the default instrument as the data source. However i would like to have this custom bar pull the data from a secondary source such as Ask or Bid instead of the default Last market data. How would i be able to add this? Currently, the code is as follows:

else if (State == State.Configure)
{
AddDataSeries(new BarsPeriod(){BarsPeriodType = (BarsPeriodType) 2018, BaseBarsPeriodValue = 100, Value2 = 100, Value = 100});
}

Hello IonRadio,

Thank you for your post.

To have the added series use the Ask/Bid market data instead of Last market data, you could use the following which uses MarketDataType.Ask.

AddDataSeries(new BarsPeriod(){BarsPeriodType = (BarsPeriodType) 2018, BaseBarsPeriodValue = 100, Value2 = 100, Value = 100, MarketDataType = MarketDataType.Ask});

Please see the following Help Guide link about available BarsPeriod properties for more information - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...barsperiod.htm
