First event on a monthly chart

[eebene]

Via NinjaScript, on a monthly chart, is there a way to find out which event occurred first, the high or low of the bar?

For example, the monthly chart of January 2016 for the SPX has a
low of 1812.29 and a high of 2038.20, however the high occurred first.

Hello eebene,

Thank you for your post.

This is possible by adding a secondary series to verify when the High was first created and when the Low was first created by comparing against the Monthly High and Low.

For information on multiple bar series in your script you can visit the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...nstruments.htm

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you Patrick,

Unfortunately, that requires that one load all that data in Initialize(). Having looked around, i found a method, NinjaTrader.Data.Bars.GetBars, in NinjaTrader 8, but is not documented or apparently supported. I am interested in loading the data for months that meets certain criteria, therefore it would be better to load the data from within OnBarUpdate(). Any suggestion how to proceed.
