Need help with AddDataSeries using a different date range for each instrument

[thesmartdj]

Hello,


I have 49 instruments that i would like to run in the Strategy Analyzer using my custom built strategy hard coded script. I understand that I can do batch processing using my instrument list. However, my issue is that I do not understand how to “ninjascript” each “data series” with a different backtest date.


For example i only want “TSLA” backtested on 01/14/2019 while “MU” backtested on 08/15/2019 both using just one strategy. I don’t need both instruments tested on the same day.


The code below is incorrect but im lincluding for demonstration purposes:


AddDataSeries(“TSLA” BarsPeriodType.Minute,

1,

BarsPeriodType.Range,

01/14/2019 - 01/14/2019

);


AddDataSeries(“MU” BarsPeriodType.Minute,

1,

BarsPeriodType.Range,

08/15/2019 - 08/15/2019

);

Hi, thanks for your note. Welcome to the NinjaTrader forum.

You would need to select a different time interval, there's no way to programmatically add a specific amount of data. One way around this would be to run the strategy over a time period that encompasses all of the dates you need and only analyze the trades that fall within the desired date range.
