BarSize

 

 

 

 

Category

Settings or Strategy Elements or Data Section

Description

Specifies a bar size (periodicity). Its scope depends on where it appears — in the Settings section, in a Strategy, or in the Data section.

Notes

In Settings — sets the default bar size for the whole script, used for scans as well as tests. If a Settings bar size is not specified, the value from the Settings Panel is used.

In a Strategy — a Strategy can run at its own bar size, different from the Settings bar size, enabling mixed-timeframe tests.

In the Data section — sets the bar size for a group of data items, or for an individual item via a bar-size name prefix; Data arrays are independent of strategy bar sizes. See Bar-Size-Specific Items for the two ways to do this.

Valid values are Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly.

See Bar Sizes and Multiple Timeframes for how mixed bar sizes work across these contexts.
