90 millisecond bars

[yodaler]

Hello, fairly new to NT. Is there an easy way to get 90 millisecond bars, and feed these to an indicator? Thanks!

Hello yodaler,

The smallest time based bar type included with NinjaTrader is second.

You would need to design a custom bar type that is millisecond.

To add a secondary series to an indictor use AddDataSeries().

thank you. Is there an example custom bar type I could modify?

If I can ask for clarification -- what does "secondary" mean here? I just wanted to send 90msec bars to an EMA, for example.

Thanks!

Hello yodaler,

There are some custom bar types you could use as examples on the User App Share.

The Second bar type is open source and you can copy the logic from this as well.
New -> NinjaScript Editor -> Bartypes -> Second

You are wanting to add this as an additional data series to an indicator you are developing is this correct?

The chart would be the primary data series used for the indicator, and then you could add this 90 millisecond custom bar type to the to the indicator and that would be the secondary series.

Is your indicator calling the EMA and using this added series as the input series for the ema?

The custom bar type is added with the bars id of the custom bar type.

AddDataSeries((BarsPeriodType) 1234, Value = 90

Print(EMA(BarsAarray[1], 14)[0]);
