Volumetric Chart Style Not Showing

[aligator]

Dear Support,

As seen in the attached screenshot, Voumetric chart style shows up on the list in Data Series window. But when selected, it will not plot.

Also, as I print the list of Chart Styles in the Output window the Voumetric is not listed. Is there a conflict here with the custom custom chart styles Gradient Bar and Equivolume?

What is the location designation for the Volumetric? Do I need to change the location numbers for the two custom chart styles?

Many Thanks.

The volumetric chart style is only intended for use with the volumetric bar type. Therefore, it is expected that there is no output when another bar type (minute in your case) is selected.

It was unintentional that the volumetric chart style appears as available when any other bar type is selected. This is going to be changed in an upcoming release so that the volumetric chart style will only be available when the volumetric bar type is selected.

I would recommend monitoring the release notes for '12431':

Thanks Patrick,

Two Questions please:

1. I have re-installed the most recent NT8 version 12, however I do not see the Volumetric Bar Type listed under the Data Series drop down window. Is the Volumetic Bar Type supposed to be listed?

2. If not, why sometimes I get the following error without even attempting to use any Volumetric Type?

"Multiple BarTypes with the same BarsPeriodType were found. Ignoring NinjaTraderScriptBarsType.VolumetricBarsType."

What is this error for, is there a conflict between VolumetricBarsType and one of my custom bar types? If so, how do I know which one?

Many thanks.

This means that uou have a custom bar type/chart style which occupies the same 'ChartStyleType' or BarsPeriodType' enum as the new Volumetric chart style/bar type/

• The new Volumetric chart style occupies enum 8
• The new Volumetric bar type occupies enum 14

You (or the developer of the custom chart style/bar type) will need to change the bar type/chart style's enum to a higher value per our recommended docs to avoid these collision issues:

If you're the developer and need assistance, please post on the NinjaScript subforums or write into us via email.

If you are not the developer, contact the developer and let them know the information I've provided above.

Thanks Patrick,
The above link lists enumeration values (0-8) for ChartStyleType only. Where in the Help can I find enum values for BarsPeriodType?

Thanks.

Built in BarsPeriodType occupy enum 0-14.

We recommend using an enum larger than 1023 to avoid conflicts.
