userdefinedmethods

[8DTK8]

I've been working with code that uses the techniques listed in the pages below. I have 2 questions.

1) How does one pass the current market position to the userdefinedmethod? I see from the example that you include the data type and the variable that you need passed on in the brackets, but don't know how this works with market position. For example, if the userdefined method needs to know that you are short to evaluate a condition, how do I pass on from the strategy that uses the userdefinedmethod, whether or not I am short?

2) Is there any way to isolate an entire chunk of code into userdefinedmethod? For example, if I have a whole bunch of stratgies that have the same trailing stop is it possible to have the entire conditional statement for the stop contained in the userdefinedmethod to be called when the system is long or short? (as opposed to letting the userdefinedmethod evaluate the conditions, return a true or false and having the main strategy submit the closing stop order) & if so, an example would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance.

What you want to do is create user defined methods as outlined here: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...tml?Overview45

1) In your user defined method have it take on a market position or position parameter.

2) I have never tried it before, but you can give it a shot if you want. Just have it place orders from within the method. It may or may not work. Unfortunately there is no example.

Find / Replace in all strategies.

Is there a find/replace command that will replace all instances of a userdefinedmethod with a modification?

I remember seeing something like this but I can't remember whether it was for NT or another software.

For example if I currently have ExampleUDM(var1) and want to add a new variable, is there a way to find replace in all strategies so that there won't be any compile error when I change it to ExampleUDM(var1, NewVar)?

Thanks.

Unfortunately not.

8DTK8,

I know there are 3rd party tools that will let you do that. You can do a search replace across a group of files. Try looking into html editors as this is a common task when working with html files.

Here is one that I found, but I have not tried it.

It's freeware.


Thanks,
