BarType_ex indicates the resolution units of a chart more specifically than BarType does.

BarType_ex returns a numerical value, indicating the resolution units of the data series that the study is applied to.

Usage

BarType_ex

The following values are returned for each type of resolution units:

1 = Ticks,

2 = Minutes,

3 = Hours,

4 = Days,

5 = Weeks,

6 = Months,

7 = Years,

8 = Volume,

9 = Seconds,

10 = Quarters,

11 = Points,

12 = Change,

13 = Points (Original),

14 = Point & Figure,

15 = Kagi,

16 = Line Break,

17 = Renko,

18 = Heikin Ashi.

1000+N = Custom Resolution, where N = BarType_ex.

Example

Assign a value, indicating the resolution units of the data series that the study is applied to, to the Value1 variable:

Value1 = BarType_ex;

Print a message when the user uses a volume chart":

if BarType_ex = 8 then
  Print("This is a volume chart.");
