Serialize data on disk

[turbofib]

hi,
i ask information
how to serialize the data provided to my indicator?

In programming in visual studio I use the class
Serializable <T> .... but NinjaTrader does not know how to use it

Example:

Hello turbofib,

Thank you for writing in.

Please take a look at this reference sample on our support forum: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...43&postcount=2

While the example in the reference above pertains to a Brush, you would do the same with a DateTime.

An example:

[XmlIgnore]
[Browsable(false)]
public DateTime MyDateTime
{get; set; }

[NinjaScriptProperty]
[Display(Name="", Order=1, GroupName="General",Description="")]
public string MyDateTimeSerialize
{
     get { return MyDateTime.ToString(); }
     set { MyDateTime = DateTime.Parse(value); }
}

Please, let us know if we may be of further assistance.

it's possibile?

Serialize and deserialize file..

Do you have understand this question? i want write in a file

Hello turbofib,

We have a reference sample on our support forum detailing how you can use StreamWriter to write to a text file: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ead.php?t=3475

We also have a reference for using StreamReader to read from a text file: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ead.php?t=3476

i apply it in chart
Symbol : ES 09-16 TimeFrame: Daily

See pics:

See Manage Attachments..

But i see problem.....it's not complete ( Printing up to 20160519)

Hello turbofib,

The sample will print out a line on every new call of OnBarUpdate().

If all lines have not been outputted, this simply means you do not have enough bars on your chart to call every line of your file.

You will need to modify the sample if you wish for every line to be outputted.

What you can do is place the print at the end of the while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null) loop. I would suggest using a boolean so the while loop does not execute on every call of OnBarUpdate() or you will just keep getting the same prints over and over again.

Hello turbofib,

you write :" use sr.ReadLine...but i'm used SampeStreamWriter not SampeStreamReader
sr.ReadLine don't exist in the following code

namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators
{
public class SampleStreamWriter : Indicator
{
#region Variables
// This sets the path in which the text file will be created.
private string path;

// Creates a StreamWriter and a StreamReader object
private StreamWriter sw;
#endregion

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if(State == State.SetDefaults)
{
Calculate = Calculate.OnBarClose;
Name = "Sample stream writer";
path = NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.UserDataDir + "MyTestFile.txt";
}
// Necessary to call in order to clean up resources used by the StreamWriter object
else if(State == State.Terminated)
{
if (sw != null)
{
sw.Dispose();
sw = null;
}
}
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
/* The try-catch block is used for error handling.
In this case it is used to ensure you only have one stream object operating on the same file at any given moment. */
try
{
// If file at 'path' doesn't exist it will create the file. If it does exist it will append the file.
if (CurrentBar == 0)
sw = File.AppendText(path);

// This is the output of all lines. The output format is as follows: Date Open High Low Close
sw.WriteLine(ToDay(Time[0]) + " " + Open[0] + " " + High[0] + " " + Low[0] + " " + Close[0]);
}
catch (Exception)
{
// Outputs the error to the log
Log("You cannot write and read from the same file at the same time. Please remove SampleStreamReader.", NinjaTrader.Cbi.LogLevel.Error);
throw;
}
}
}
}

Another question.....
you say : "If all lines have not been outputted, this simply means you do not have enough bars on your chart to call every line of your file."
i try to do this :

Print("CurrentBar " + CurrentBar + "Date " + ToDay(Time[0]));
// This is the output of all lines. The output format is as follows: Date Open High Low Close

sw.WriteLine(CurrentBar + " " + ToDay(Time[0]) + " " + Open[0] + " " + High[0] + " " + Low[0] + " " + Close[0]);

i see it's different ...(see attached)

i don't understand what is the mistake

[NinjaTrader_ZacharyG]

Hello turbofib,

My previous post was referring to StreamReader. As you are instead referring to the StreamWriter reference script, please disregard what I have stated in my previous post. I apologize for the misunderstanding.

I am investigating into this further.

[NinjaTrader_ZacharyG]

Hello turbofib,

Please modify the script as shown below:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
     sw = File.AppendText(path);
     sw.WriteLine(ToDay(Time[0]) + " " + Open[0] + " " + High[0] + " " + Low[0] + " " + Close[0]);
     sw.Close();
}

The sample on our forum will be modified and updated with this change.

Please, let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Hello turbofib,

Please modify OnBarUpdate() to what I have stated in my previous post. Remove all previous existing code within OnBarUpdate():

Hello turbofib,

Please modify the script as shown below:

i have write old code in /* */
See code....
The present code is Your !!

[NinjaTrader_ZacharyG]

Hello turbofib,

After editing the code, please ensure you have compiled the code. Additionally, remove the indicator from your chart completely. Close the Indicators window, reopen, and re-add.

If it still does not output what you are expecting, please restart NinjaTrader and test.

[turbofib]

i check indicator....i restart ninjatrader but the problem is the same...
I try it on 2 different pc......
