Add(Instrument.FullName,PeriodType.... ReversalBarsType

April 28th, 2015, 08:29 AM

Hi,

ReversalBarsType is well present in Data Series Type / ChartStyle
but dont appear in
Add(Instrument.FullName,PeriodType. .... (see the list)

It mean that
Add(Instrument.FullName,PeriodType.ReversalBarsType, 10); // [1]
is impossible.

Could you help me ?

Thanks
Pierre

I gather ReversalBars is some custom bar type you have imported to NT. The only way to add custom bar type is to use Custom or Final eg. assuming that ReversalBars use Custom5 you would use:

Code

Add(Instrument.FullName,PeriodType.Custom5, 10);
// or simply:
Add(PeriodType.Custom5, 10);

Check the code to see which PeriodType variable it is using.

Search for something similar to:

Code

public ReversalBarsType() : base(PeriodType.Custom5) { }

Thanks for your help

here is the code decompiled
I don t find the good indication about
"public ReversalBarsType() : base(PeriodType.CustomX) { }"

Thanks for your help

here is the code decompiled
I don t find the good indication about
"public ReversalBarsType() : base(PeriodType.CustomX) { }"

You had it at the bottom:

Code

		/// <summary>
		/// </summary>
		public ReversalBarsType () : base(PeriodType.Custom4)
		{
			this.OxFln4MCc = true;
		}

So use Custom4 to add the bar type.

Oups !
Thanks
The compilation is good
but the execution in UT2 dont works
Have you an idea ?
in UT 2 :

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(Instrument.FullName,PeriodType.Custom4, 10);// [1]
CalculateOnBarClose = false;
}

/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (BarsInProgress == 1 && (CurrentBar >=1))
{
DrawTextFixed("tag1", " ", TextPosition.TopRight); /// on efface le message
DrawTextFixed("tag1", (Opens[1][1]).ToString(), TextPosition.TopRight);
}
}

What is UT2?

Try adding without the Instrument.FullName, ie:

Code

Add(PeriodType.Custom4, 10);// [1]

Also for better debugging add Print method to check in the output window if it executes:

Code

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
          if (BarsInProgress == 1) 
		{		
                     Print("inside secondary bars");	
                }
        }

Check for any errors in the output window and log tab of Control Center and let me know if it says something.

April 28th, 2015, 11:39 AM

it say nothing
it is mute

THE LOG SAY : ERROR ON CALLING OnBarUpDate on bar 0 Bar Index Need

try it in Chart 2 min (UT 2 min)

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(Instrument.FullName,PeriodType.Custom4, 10);// [1]
CalculateOnBarClose = false;
}

/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (BarsInProgress == 1)
{
Print("inside secondary bars");
}
}

April 28th, 2015, 11:43 AM

THE LOG SAY : ERROR ON CALLING OnBarUpDate on bar 0. Bar Index Needs

I think the error message is cutoff - can you scroll to the right to get a full one?
