reassign bar slot

[srbdoc]

Having an issue with custom bar type not appearing on charts - possible slot conflict. Please provide instructions on how to assign a new slot number for a custom bar type.

Thanks

Hello srbdoc,

Each custom barstype has a predefined 'slot' in which it would be sit in NT's type collection, in total there are 15 slots available (.Custom0 - Custom9 + .Final0 - Final4).

If you run into an issue with selecting or importing custom type for use, it could be another custom type installed as well would already take of of the slots above. There is for example an addon type from Rjay called ChannelTrend, it defaults to use .Custom5

You may have to modify the code of the bar type, which in your case might look like

Public userUSABarType() : base(ChartStyleType.Custom8

To,

Public userUSABarType () : base(ChartStyleType.Custom9)

Or you could use the attached indicator to print the bar types and identify which other bar type is occupying Custom8, and then remove it.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Hello KENSANLB,

I apologize on behalf of my colleague that this was not shared as an importable NinjaScript package.

Thank you Chelsea, can you provide more detail instructions on how to assign different slot for different bar types?

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello KENSANLB,

As a heads up custom bar types are not officially supported for NInjaTrader 7.

You will need to modify the bar type code outside of NinjaTrader. You will need to change the PeriodType number to a number that is not being used.
