If I use the line

Add(PeriodType.Minutes, 1);

in some code and apply it to the Market Analyzer, then NinjaTrader crashes. Is this normal? Does Market Analyzer not allow multiple timeframes/datastreams?

bubblegum, what NT release version # are you using (Help > About)? It should work with a MultiSeries indicator as well and not crash, so if you could send trace / log files via Help > Mail to Support to me I would be appreciative and take a look into further.

NT support,

I am using Market analyzer with sessions settings on 12:00am to 12:00am...

presuming i am using a 3hr(180minute) and a 5hr(300minute) indicator under that setting...
setting the calculateonbarclose to TRUE would essentially update the 3hr indicator at 03:00 06:00 09:00 12:00 15:00 etc;.... and update the 5hr indicator at 05:00 10:00 15:00 etc;

ie; the 180minute indicator would update at 3hr intervals starting at 12:00am....

can you confirm this?http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/images/smilies/confused.png

That would be correct mystiq, it's essentially the same as on the charts - however you need to keep in mind NT is event based and not time based, which means the candle would close once the open tick of the new one is received.
