NT8 suggestion: new State before State.Terminated

[fx.practic]

Hello.

In NT7, from withing OnTermination() method, we can get access to all data: price series, indicator series, DataSeries, etc.

It was obvious and very convenient separate place for gathering statistics, analyse deals, prepare data samples for machine learning, ... etc.

Once, my friend, QA engineer, asked me to help to parse a site. And I did it using OnTermination() method of strategy. It was really more convenient than to create project in VisualStudio )))

So, I suggest to create once more Sate, triggered before State.Terminated. And this state should give access to all objects, accessible in OnBarUpdate() method.

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

State.Terminated has taken the place of OnTermination, can you provide more detail on what specifically was not working that you tried?

OnTermination/Terminated state should not have any relevance whether you are using Visual Studio or the NinjaScript editor, you would be using NinjaScript in both and both have the same states.

As your post does not show specific syntax I am unsure of the problem at this point. If you can provide a simple example that shows the problem I could assist further.


Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

For example, I can't do this:

Print( Close[0] );

Hello,

This should work fine in NT8, are you currently checking which Terminated event you are trying to print from?

Just as NT7 has the Terminated and Initialize called multiple times, NT8 also calls these states multiple times as you open the menu, apply the indicator etc..

If you are not checking that there was actually data loaded, you may not be printing from the correct instance causing an error.

you could try something as simple as the following:

public class Tests : Strategy
	{
		bool hasLoaded;

else if (State == State.Historical)
{
	hasLoaded = true;
}
else if (State == State.Terminated)
{
	if(hasLoaded)
	    Print( Close[0] );  
}

This would set the bool to true to let you know that the script was actually run if it was not run Close should not have any values.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
