How to reference Kagi & UniRenko?

[NinjaTrader_JessicaP]

Hello soulfx,


I have submitted a feature request to the product management team for the following feature :

This customer would like custom bar series, including Renko, Heiken-Ashi, and user created, to show up in the Additional Data page of the Strategy Builder

I will follow up with more information as soon as it's available. If the feature requests already exists, a vote will be added to it.


Please let us know if there are any other ways we can help.

Hello in trying to keep threads to minimum i have a continuation question here.

Has a feature request been raised in order for custom bar types to be selected and used in the strategy builder?

I am exploring this with some custom bar types for others to use and build strategies or is it limited to only those currently listed in the help pages?

So a user would need to add in logic and edit in the strategy/script editor as you indicated above?

thanks

Hello KennyK, and thank you for your question. We can not guarantee the operation of third party indicators, however, if this operation is supported by your vendor, you will be able to use e.g. the BarsPeriodType.UniRenko when setting up your data series using AddDataSeries. This help guide page has more information.

I was looking to create 2 strategies, one referencing Kagi swings & the other referencing UniRenko bars. These options don't appear in the strategy builder, so is there a way of achieving this?
I am thinking it may only presently be doable by coding it in via the strategy editor?
Why are the bar types limited in the strategy builder?

Cheers,
Ken.
