Using Indicators in Trading Strategies

You can use the TimeBars, Consolidated Bars, and Adaptive Consolidated Bars indicators as you would any other indicator in a rule in a Trading Strategy.

Optimize Data Stream

If you don't know which data stream you want to use in your Trading Strategy rule, you can use either the Time Bar Indicator or Consolidated Bar Indicator and let the optimizer select the optimal display parameter.  For example, if the optimization chooses 2 as the Display parameter in your trading rule, the value of the (High+Low) / 2 will be used to compute the rule.

Note:  Adaptive Consolidated Bars do not include a display parameter.
