Hi,

I have a strategy in ReversalBarsType 20

if (FirstTickOfBar)
{
PlaySound(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\NinjaTrader 7\sounds\AutoTrail.wav");
}
Works very well BUT if I add :
protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(Instrument.FullName,PeriodType.Tick, 50); // [1]
}

if FirstTickOfBar ring on first bar of Tick 50 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and not first bar of ReversalBars Type

I am looking for something like that
if (FirstTickOfBar[0])
{...}

Damned, what can i do ?

Thanks for your Help

Check the BarsInProgress variable, 0 for main series, higher for added series.

Thanks Ratfink

For everybody the typical answer is :
if (BarsInProgress == 0 && FirstTickOfBar) "serie of chart"
{}
if (BarsInProgress == 1 && FirstTickOfBar) "add serie 1"
{}
etc.....

Hi, Thanks for your replay. Am not a programmer, so i really don't know how to modify indicators. can you please help me
modify following indicator to paint an arrow in the first tick of the opening bar once the bar changes color? blue arrow for up and red arrow for down.
