ChartBars.Bars vs. Bars
I find this (or something like this) is common at the start of OnRender():
Code: -
Hello swcooke,
Thank you for the post.
In this case, the context is important due to how NinjaScript inherits properties.
First, to directly answer your question, you only need to null check what you use. If you didn't use ChartBars.Bars in the syntax, there would not be a need to check if it was null. Likely the various objects have been used in the syntax below that point, so those are the null checks that were the result. After seeing the difference between the two objects, you can better determine what may be needed in the code you are asking about.
The ChartBars.Bars object points to specifically the primary ChartBars object configured on the chart. Bars are the NinjaScript inherited property meaning this changes depending on the series that called OnBarUpdate.
For example, using the following print you can see how these properties work. An example is using a multi-series script. Assume the primary chart series is a 4 range chart, and I have added a 15 minute series in code.
Code:protected override void OnBarUpdate() { Print(Bars.ToChartString() + " " + ChartBars.Bars.ToChartString()); }
ES 06-18 (4 Range) ES 06-18 (4 Range)
ES 06-18 (4 Range) ES 06-18 (4 Range)
ES 06-18 (15 Minute) ES 06-18 (4 Range)
ES 06-18 (4 Range) ES 06-18 (4 Range)
ES 06-18 (4 Range) ES 06-18 (4 Range)
I look forward to being of further assistance.JesseNinjaTrader Customer Service
