AddKagi()

Similar to the Add() method for adding Bars objects to an indicator or strategy, this method adds a Kagi Bars object for multi-series NinjaScript. When running NinjaScript, you will be able to choose the primary instrument and bar interval to run on. This primary Bars object will carry a BarsInProgress index of 0. In a multi-time frame and multi-instrument NinjaScript, supplementary Bars objects are added via this method in the Initialize() method and given an incremented BarsInProgress index value. See additional information on running multi-bars scripts.

AddKagi(string instrumentName, PeriodType basePeriodType, int basePeriodTypeValue, int reversal, ReversalType reversalType, MarketDataType marketDataType)

NOTE: You can optionally add the exchange name as a suffix to the symbol name. This is only advised if the instrument has multiple possible exchanges that it can trade on and it is configured within the Instrument Manager. For example: AddKagi("MSFT Arca", PeriodType.Minute, 1, 2, ReversalType.Tick, MarketDataType.Last).

instrumentName	An instrument name such as "MSFT"
basePeriodType	The underlying period type of the Kagi such as: PeriodType.Day PeriodType.Minute PeriodType.Second PeriodType.Tick PeriodType.Volume
basePeriodTypeValue	The underlying period interval such as "3" for 3 minute bars
reversal	Required price movement in the reversal direction before a reversal is identified on the chart
reversalType	Possible values are: ReversalType.Percent ReversalType.Tick
marketDataType	Possible values are: MarketDataType.Ask MarketDataType.Bid MarketDataType.Last * Please see the article here on using Bid/Ask series.
