Adding custom bar series to strategy

[ScotCyGuy]

Hello,
Hopefully a quick and easy one, I have written my own custom Bar Type in NT8 and want to add it to a strategy however I can't for the life of me figure out what to put in the BarsPeriodType for the AddDataSeries, any help would be much appreciated.

You need to assign a unique ID for your bar type, then use the ID to call the bar type in AddDataSeries.

For example, I assign my ninZaRenko bar's ID to 12345. Then we can add the data series as follows:

AddDataSeries(new BarsPeriod() {
BarsPeriodType = (BarsPeriodType)12345,
Value = 8,
Value2 = 4
});

____________

And here is how I set the ID, which should be done in SetDefaults:

BarsPeriod = new BarsPeriod {
BarsPeriodType = (BarsPeriodType)12345,
BarsPeriodTypeName = "ninZaRenko",
};
