Access Input Series in State.Configure

[kujista]

Hello,

how can I access value ES 06-23 in State.Configure block... I wan to add custom data series with this name - it requires ES 06-23. Is there a way to access it somehow...
e.g. this.DataSeries.InputSeries.name ??

Thanks for advice
Paul

Hello, thanks for writing in. It is not possible to access data from State.Configure. You must wait until at least State.DataLoaded to access data from any series you have on the chart or have added using AddDataSeries().

Well,

How Can I add volumtetric chart same as my primary chart?

 else if (State == State.Configure)
            {
                // Add Volumetric Time Frame [timeFrameVolumetric]
                AddVolumetric("ES JUN23", BarsPeriodType.Range, iRangeBarSize, VolumetricDeltaType.BidAsk, 1);

                // Add Entry Time Frame [timeFrameEntry]
                AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Range, iRangeBarSize);

                // Add Daily Chart [timeFrameDaily]
                AddVolumetric("ES JUN23", BarsPeriodType.Day, 1, VolumetricDeltaType.BidAsk, 1);
​

Do I have to Change always first parameter ES JUN23? That does not seem probable

or do i havet call AddVolumetric in State.DataLoaded? that is non sense I guess

Hi, you will need to call AddVolumetric() within State.Configure, but it is not possible to get any data from State.Configure in any case.

I have an example of how to use this here:

Please note that the ES June contract will expire tomorrow, you can roll over your instruments by going to Tools>Database management.
