Hello,

I am not sure how to code both Minute frame as BarsInProcess = 0 and SBSRenko as BarsInProcess = 1 together. I also am not familiar with setting up Add(PeriodType.Custom....) for SBSRenko.

Do you have an example of code like this or is there a strategy/indicator somewhere here that I can learn from?

I appreciate your reply.

Many thanks,

BarsInProgress, just add each one and the first one listed will be BarsInProgress == 1, second one will be BarsInProgress == 2, etc. The underlying chart data will be BarsInProgress == 0. If this doesn't make sense, search NT help file for BarsInProgress and it will show more detail.

See this thread for custom types.

Thank you for your reply.

I coded a simple strategy to display OHLC on both Minute and SbSRenko. Minute OHLC data is showing good but SbSRenko is not showing. I added SbSRenko into Data Series and it is still not showing. What am I missing here? See code below:

Silly me!!

It now works! I just fixed that mistake from [0][1] to [1][0].

Thanks again!!

Ok, its been a while and I was thinking the minute would need to be BarsInProgress ==1 and the better renko would need to be BarsInProgress == 2, but if its working then I guess not

It does display the values but they are not in sync with those data in Data Box window. Again, I am missing something here. :-(

I just read the help file, and if the 60 minute data is not your base chart, then it needs to be BarsInProgress==1 and the better renko needs to be BarsInProgress==2. Other thing is a 300 better renko is a huge setting, are you sure that's the correct number?

300 better renko is actually 30 when I set the Control Center's pip quote setting to 1/10.

What I am trying to achieve is to use 60 minute chart for handling orders and to call data from better renko's open/close prices for checking the conditions. Which is more sense to use 2 Add()s for minutes and better renko in 60 minute chart like you mentioned above (1 and 2) or just one Add() with better renko in 60 min chart with BarsInProgress==0 and BarsInProgress==1?

In the code from earlier post, I was trying to retrieve live prices to make sure I coded properly but they seems not in sync with data box.

Thanks for the clarification,

If 60 minutes is your base chart, then I am not really sure. You can try commenting out the line "Add(PeriodType.Minute,60);" and see if it changes anything. If not, then I guess it doesn't matter and I have no other unhelpful suggestions for you try.
