Lookinfg for chart type

[ballboy11]

How do I find what type of Chart data.

BarsPeriod.BasePeriodType == NinjaTrader.Data.PeriodType.Minute|

I wanted to know what type of chart is being printed .

I need to seperate if volume bars are used, tick bars are used or Minute

I tried the BarsPeriod BasePeriodType but It always gives me a base period of Minute

Is there a way to find what type of chart is being printed

Hello ballboy11,

Thanks for your post.

It sounds like you want to know the bar type on the chart, reference:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/zordertype.htm?barsperiod.htm

For example, add the print statement below to a chart and switch the bar type to volume, tick, renko, etc.

Print ("Bars Type: "+BarsPeriod.BarsPeriodType);

BarsPeriod.BasePeriodType is only relavant for certain bar types that require additional configuration information, such as Kagi, LineBreak, and Point&Figure.
