Second Time Series

[ozziyhtomit]

Morning,

I am running a Strategy file on a small granularity bar size. Say 200 ticks or 20 Renko etc for a bunch of futures.

I'd like to be able to add a time series using

AddDataSeries("XX ##-##", Data.BarsPeriodType.Day, 1);

whose instrument is whatever instrument the chart is that I am applying the strategy to. Right now, I only know how to go in and hard code daily bars for NQ for a high freq NQ trade, daily bars for ES for a etc etc

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Hello ozziyhtomit,

Thanks for your post.

If you want to add a data series of the same instrument as the chart, you need only provide barsperiodtype and size.

from the help guide:

Syntax
The following syntax will add another Bars object for the primary instrument of the script.
AddDataSeries(BarsPeriod barsPeriod)
AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType periodType, int period)

Reference: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...dataseries.htm

So you just need AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Day, 1);

It is only when you want to add a different instrument that you would need to hard code the instrument name in the addDataSeries() method.
