Hello I want to use BuySell Pressure indicator using Better Renko bars and I checked off Tick replay but it doesnt
show any historical Buysell signal...is there a reason why?

Hello bdelorm,

Thank you for your reply.

Tick Replay is not compatible with all bar types. Bar types that use RemoveLastBar, such as Renko based bars, are not supported for Tick replay, so you would not be able to use the Buy Sell Pressure indicator historically on a chart using that particular bar type.

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

Hi everyone,

Regarding BetterRenko in a Strategy file, is there a way to add BetterRenko bar type via AddDataSeries to a strategy? I want to reference multiple BetterRenko bar types within a single strategy file and I don't see a way to do this.

Thank you,
Tim

Hello ozziyhtmot,

The BarsPeriodType index from the custom BarsType will need to be used with your AddDataSeries call. The BarsPeriodType index will then need to be casted as BarsPeriodType.

Tips from AddDataSeries Documentation:

2. You can add a custom BarsType which is installed on your system by casting the registered enum value for that BarsPeriodType. For example: AddDataSeries((BarsPeriodType)14, 10);

3. You can specify optional BarsPeriod values (such as Value2) of a custom BarsType in the BarsPeriod object initializer. For example: AddDataSeries(new BarsPeriod() { BarsPeri odType = (BarsPeriodType)14, Value = 10, Value2 = 20 });

The source code for the BetterRenko BarsType can be referenced to get the BarsPeriodType index for that custom BarsType.

BarsPeriod                    = new BarsPeriod { BarsPeriodType = (BarsPeriodType) 17, BarsPeriodTypeName = "BetterRenko(17)", Value = 1 };

Documentation on working with Multi Time Frame scrips can be found here - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nstruments.htm

We look forward to assisting.
