Hello Lopat,

Thank you for your inquiry.

There is an overload for AddDataSeries() that takes an argument for barsToLoad.

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

Please note that 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."

AddDataSeries(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...dataseries.htm

If you have any other questions, please let me know.
