Add ( ) with range bars

[Kmdom3]

Good Evening everyone,

Here's my issue,
I'm attempting to add multiple time frames to my strategy, using the Add() method. I want to add multiple range bar time frames.
I'm typing Add (PeriodType.Range, 15);
I then get an error message stating NinjaTrader.Data.PeriodType does not contain a definition for 'range.' Error type CS0117

I checked the error code but didn't find much help when it came to range bars.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure you are adding PeriodType.Range and not PeriodType.range?
C# is case sensitive.

I actually tried both, realizing that C# is case-sensitive, and neither worked.

If you do:

Add(PeriodType.Minute, 1);

does that work? What about tick? ie: Add(PeriodType.Tick, 233);

Let's establish you have those working, if it is just Range that is a problem, or if none of the above are working.

Also, what period type are you using to run the actual strategy on (if running on a chart, what time period, or if backtesting, what time period) ie minute, tick, range?

Kmdom3,

This worked for me.

Add(PeriodType.Range, 15);

When you type the following... Add(PeriodType.

you should see an intellisense pop-up with period type selection. Double click on Range. Finish the line of code and compile.

Good Luck,

RJay

Thanks, turns out it was simple as removing the space between Add(), I'm used to C++, where spaces didn't matter.
Sorry for wasting your time with that inane question, appreciate everybody's help.
