getting the chart timeframe into an indicator

[frannt]

How to do I get the chart time-frame from inside an indicator or strategy. For example, say I have a simple strategy and I apply it to a 1-min chart, a 500-tick chart and a 3-range chart. Based on the chart type I may have different stop settings. Then what code should I add to the indicator/strategy to tell me which chart I am using?

Hi frannt

Using NinjaScript items from BarsPeriod (eg BarsPeriod.Id & BarsPeriod.Value ) should achieve what you're after... here is the link to the NinjaTrader help guide...
