Load X Bars at a second dataseries

[Lopat]

Hello everyone,
i have the problem that my second dataseries isn‘t loading enough bars for my indicators I want to attach. Is it possible to define how many bars are loaded at the second dataseries?

Hello Lopat,

Thank you for your post.

There is an overload for AddDataSeries() that takes an argument for barsToLoad. The syntax is as follows:

AddDataSeries(string instrumentName, BarsPeriod barsPeriod, int barsToLoad, string tradingHoursName, bool? isResetOnNewTradingDay)

That said, it is important to note the following in the case of an additional series for the same instrument and bar type that already has been added to the script:
"When adding multiple Data Series of the same instrument and the same Bar Type, the 'barsToLoad' property will only be effective on the first added series. Subsequent series with a different barsToLoad setting will not load a different number of bars than the first series."

For more information, please see the help guide page for AddDataSeries():
