Need help with a multi time frame strategy

[SilverSurfer1]

I'm trying to add a lower time frame data type to my strategy.

I have a custom data type installed called ninZaRenko. This indicator takes a Brick size and a Trend size.

NinZaRenko is installed with an enum value of 12345.

When I try this command, AddDataSeries((BarsPeriodType)12345,4,1) // Brick Size = 4, Trend Size = 1, I get the error code CS1502.

This is because AddDataSeries() only accepts two arguments and not three.

What is the proper command to add this datatype to my strategy?

ninZaRenko used to have a Trader's Manual that you could download.

Here is an excerpt,

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
    ...
    if (State == State.Configure)
    {
        ...
        AddDataSeries(new BarsPeriod() {
            BarsPeriodType = (BarsPeriodType)12345, // ninZaRenko’s ID
            Value = 8,                              // Brick Size
            Value2 = 4                              // Trend Threshold
        });
        ...
    }
    ...
}​

I've attached mine below.

Thank you so much for the response.

I didn't know about the trading manual.

Hello SilverSurfer1,

Thanks for your post.

For custom bar types there is a note in the help guide on AddDataSeries() in the Tips section.

"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() { BarsPeriodType = (BarsPeriodType)14, Value = 10, Value2 = 20 });"

Here is a Bars Type Identifier indicator that will return the id.
