AddHeikenAshi() To Use Selected Period Type And Value

[saulback]

I am using

if (State == State.Configure) { AddHeikenAshi(debugInstrument, BarsPeriodType.Minute, 30, MarketDataType.Last); }

in my strategy. But I don't like that the period type and values have to be hard coded. I tried using

AddHeikenAshi(this.Instrument.FullName, this.BarsPeriod.BarsPeriodType, this.BarsPeriod.BaseBarsPeriodValue, MarketDataType.Last);

, but at the time this runs, the BarsPeriod is set to Tick 1, probably meaning it hasn't been created yet. And when I optimize with this, the Instrument is null.

Is there any way I can get the HeikenAshi indicator to use the user selected period and instrument?
