How to paint chart on different interval?

[GaryAlbers]

Can any body point me in the right direction in terms of class to add or extend or method to override which would allow me to have a chart that only changes 'bars' according to my rules?

For example a range bar chart only shifts for a new bar when the range rules have been met.
I am looking to do something similar but where the number of 'bar' intervals within a session
is determined by my code.

Do I create a new class inside the BarTypes.cs file?

Any other guidelines or rules I should be aware of while trying this?

Thanks for any help,
Gary

Hello GaryAlbers,

This is beyond our scope of support but you might look at the system indicator HeikenAshi which accomplishes a lot of this.

Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Indicator > Heiken ashi.

Procedures for custom BarTypes

I would like to create a custom BarType.

I understand that this is not supported by NinjaTrader.

I would appreciate some insight from other developers who have created a
custom bar type.

When creating a custom bar type, does the code have to go in the type\@BarTypes
file? Or can it be in a separate file as long as it extends the correct class and is in
the same namespace?

What steps are needed to make the new type recognized by Ninja and therefore
show up in all the correct drop down boxes, etc?

Thanks for any help you feel like providing

Gary

Gary, as a hint : yes it could be in it's own CS type file - I suggest you check into one of the many addon types shared here on the forums by users, some I believe are also in our sharing section here.

i'd like to create my own type too. so far I'm studying a renko type and trying to understand it but it's a bit complicated.

if you make any progress please share your status and i'll do the same.
