AddRenko()

[gordongekko]

What is the syntax for just adding an additional renko data series that uses the same instrument as the primary data series? I just want to use a different brick size but use the same instrument. None of the examples show this.

Can I just omit the first parameter?

AddRenko(stringinstrumentName,intbrickSize,Data.MarketDataTypemarketDataType)

Use this for first parameter:

Instrument.FullName

Hello.

Thanks for the post.

Using variables in the parameter list of AddRenko (and every Add method) as RayJ suggests is not supported. We recommend all parameters used in the add methods be hard coded.

Here is an excerpt from the help guide:

Arguments supplied to AddRenko() should be hardcoded and NOT dependent on run-time variables which cannot be reliably obtained during State.Configure (e.g., Instrument, Bars, or user input). Attempting to add a data series dynamically is NOT guaranteed and therefore should be avoided.

 if (State == State.Configure)
    {
        AddRenko("ES 06-18", 4, MarketDataType.Last); 
    }

There exists a feature request to allow dynamically adding a data series, I will add a vote for this feature.

Please let us know if we may be of any further assistance.
