Restart it again, there are 2 steps for bar type, a)compile successfully b)restart, import successfully is the same as step a.
edit: seems like you already did step b but try restart it again doesn't hurt.

Thanks Cory,

I actually imported another of sim's indicators, not the bars, have them running now. Thanks

Hey Cory,

I've got the unirenko bars working, but i'm having an issue with them when I check the tick replay in the data series properties. When I do this I start getting major distortions in the plot, completely unusable. Have you any issues with your formatting when you check market replay, correction, tick replay???

I don't have any experience with using tick relay feature, sorry.

Thanks for your help, not having much luck with this platform. I quite like the unirenko bar type, but I need it to work with a delta momentum indicator, which doesn't appear to be available anywhere, anybody using these for NT8?

I was playing around with this bar type and i noticed that when I put a strategy on a chart and look at the historical performance, the orders are not filled at the same prices as when running realtime (or market replay). In my strategy I have calculate on bar close true. In realtime, the market order is sent on the bar close price. In historical, it's sent on the bar open price. If the open setting is, for example, 3, then it can send the market order at a price that is 3 ticks better. This gives a 3 tick edge in the strategy performance but realtime it's 0.

I didn't see this mentioned in the thread, so I'm curious if others have seen this, and if there is a way to work around this? Like using a secondary bar period of 1 tick or something?

Hi Cunparis,

Were you using the Unirenko bar? Were you able to get it work with Tick Replay on?

tick replay is not available for all bar types. I do believe unirenko belongs to that category:

Yes it was unirenko. By 'tick replay' do you mean market replay?

It's been a while, but I think remember the market replay gave similar results to real time.. Once I found out that real time it wasn't working and realized what was going on, I abandoned this bar type. I believe unirenko should not be used for indicators, strategies, or automated trading. The "true edge" only exists in backtesting.

Any 'artificial' bar type that does not show the open, high, low, and close accurately is deceiving. Be careful.

Hi there Randal and welcome

About your first question, I know a few traders who have used Unirenko successfully. One thread where this is documented is 'The Scalper's Journey'. You need however to be an Elite member to view it. I am sure others can chip in and speak about their experience with Unirenko.

As for your second question, if you are referring to the artificial open for this bar type, I don't think there is a big deal about it, but people just need to be mindful that some prices may be artificial, which means price for a specific bar may not necessarily have touched the marked where the bar says it did. To some it may be important, to others it may not, that's all.

This indicator looks great Randal, unfortunately this version available in the download section, authored by Sim22, will only work on naked charts, and some basic indicators. It cannot be used with bid/ask tick data, it will crash your charts. It would be nice if could be fixed up, but nobody has volunteered to do so. You can buy a professionally coded version from RJay at innovative trading solutions, or from purelogictrading.com. There is a free version available at Ninza.com, but it's a dll file. Unirenko here is not up to snuff though, don't use it...
