Strategy Management

1. How do I get my strategy to show up in a folder in the Strategies window? It's in a folder in the Ninjascript editor.

2. Can I print the name of the script to the output window?

Thanks!

Hello GibbsB613,

Thanks for writing in.

1. How do I get my strategy to show up in a folder in the Strategies window? It's in a folder in the Ninjascript editor.

Creating a folder in the NinjaScript editor will create a subfolder within the "NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\Strategies" folder or Indicator folder for indicators. If you would like to have the strategy display its own context menu item in the Strategies menu or within the Strategy Analyzer, you will want to assign the Strategy to its own namespace.

//This namespace holds Strategies in this folder and is required. Do not change it. 
namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Strategies.Myfolder
{

2. Can I print the name of the script to the output window?

Yes, since the name property is local to each NinjaScript, you can print the name of your NinjaScript by Printing "Name".

Print(Name);

Please let me know if you have any questions.
