[kabott]

Hi guys, i been trying to call UniRenko bars from an indicator, but since it has 3 parameters i don't know how to, the code below does not work, how do one controls this bar type parameters then?

switch(PType)
{

case pCandType.UniRenko:
Add(PeriodType.Custom5, 2,18,2);
break;
case pCandType.HybridRenko:
Add(PeriodType.Custom6, MayorTimeframePeriods);
break;

}

Hello Kabott,

Thank you for your note.

You would not be able to add custom bar types to the strategy script as they are not supported this way.

You would need to use the defaults ones built into NinjaTrader, Minute, Renko, Range and so forth.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Kabott,

I am going to rephrase my first statement.

This is not limited to Strategies. You cannot use Custom Bar types for either Indicators or Strategies for the Add() method. I am not aware of a supported or unsupported method to use these custom bar types.

Kabott,

To support Muti TimeFrame indicators/strategies using the Add() method,
added an alternative way to specify all bar specs in the 'Tick Trend'
parameter. You can now alternatively specify each parameter as 3 digits
in the Data Series window 'Tick Trend' parameter or Add() method
'Period' parameter. For example to specify TickTrend=4 ,
TickReversal=8, OpenOffset=2 or (T4R8O2) then specify: 'Tick
Trend'=004008002 in Data Series window, or Add(PeriodType.custom5,
004008002);' in your MTF code. The normal way of specifying the
parameters will still work as well.
Add(PeriodType.Custom5, 004008002);
In the example of 004008002
004 = Tick trend
008 = Tick Reversal
002 = Open offset
