add data series.

[rtwave]

people with nt,




i am having some trouble with additional data series.


i want to add a 1 minute bar series for an equity and evaluate all short and long positions in that series.


the biggest issue is that i want to use all data from 04:00 to 20:00 eastern yankee time (i would not have a preference between us equities eth or default 24x5) and the function asks for many parameters i'm not sure about. i use minute data from 2018 to date on my strategies so i have no idea what value to use when the function asks for how many bars to load.


the platform will not accept either of these two fragments below:


AddDataSeries("GE", Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 1, Data.MarketDataType.Last, "Default 24 x 5");


AddDataSeries("GE", new BarsPeriod() { BarsPeriodType = (BarsPeriodType)4, Value = 1 }, 60,"US Equities ETH" , null);


i have gone over all the sections of the nt documentation and relevant fora posts i could find but i don't think this has been solved. ¿can nt advise how to add a simple 1 minute bars series as i have described?


very well, regards.

Hello rtwave,

Below is a link to the help guide on AddDataSeries().

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/adddataseries.htm

You want to load a 1 minute series with the same instrument and a different trading hours template correct?

AddDataSeries(string instrumentName, BarsPeriod barsPeriod, string tradingHoursName)

AddDataSeries(null, new BarsPeriod() { BarsPeriodType = BarsPeriodType.Minute, Value = 1 }, "US Equities ETH");

NinjaTrader_ChelseaB,




thanks.



just to clarify, i have a strategy that runs on rty 5 minute bars. there's no problem there. it uses the ordinary futures session hours.



however, i want to add a secondary 1 minute series for ge and send all positions there. and i want to include all data from 04:00 to 20:00.

Hello rtwave,

You can add a data series using a different trading hours template.

well. there are no samples or examples anywhere but it seems that this command below does work:




AddDataSeries("GE", new BarsPeriod() { BarsPeriodType = BarsPeriodType.Minute, Value = 1 }, "Default 24 x 5");




i share the command in case it could help someone else.
