No suitable method found to override.

[marcusplexus]

Hi,

I am attempting to write some code to monitor my data feed connection.

NT7 gives me the "No suitable method found to override" error because I use the following code :

protected override void OnConnectionStatus(ConnectionStatus orderStatus, ConnectionStatus priceStatus)

In which section of the script do I need to put the code as per the following help article?

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/index.html?onconnectionstatus.htm

Thanks.

Hello,

Thanks for the note.

This would want to be placed under OnBarUpdate().

OnBarUpdate()
{

//Do your OnBarUpdate stuff here.

}

OnConnectionLoss()
{

//Do your connection loss stuff here.

}

Sorry, this is not working. I still get the error if I paste the code from the example found in the Help section (url provided in my original comment).

In the "Variables" section I put:

private ConnectionStatus dataFeed = ConnectionStatus.Connected;

Then under the protected override void OnBarUpdate() section I pasted:

protected override void OnConnectionStatus(ConnectionStatus orderStatus, ConnectionStatus priceStatus)
{
dataFeed = priceStatus;
}

Hi,

Its a method and I would try it before OnBarUpdate().

// This namespace holds all indicators and is required. Do not change it.
namespace NinjaTrader.Indicator
{
[Description("Enter the description of your new custom indicator here")]
public class AlertConnectionLost : Indicator
{
#region Variables

private ConnectionStatus dataFeed = ConnectionStatus.Connected;

#endregion

protected override void Initialize()
{
Overlay = true;
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
// plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
}

protected override void OnConnectionStatus(ConnectionStatus orderStatus, ConnectionStatus priceStatus)
{

priceDataFeed = priceStatus;
orderDataFeed = orderStatus;

if (priceDataFeed == ConnectionStatus.ConnectionLost)
{
Print("Connection Lost");
}
}

A picture is worth a thousand words. This is a snapshot of the scripting windows and the related error message.

Thanks for your persistence with this issue.

MP, please try working with that method override in a strategy and not an indicator, then it should compile as expected.

Thanks,

Ah! That's why. Many thanks!
