Strategy Analyzer Not Loading Strategy

[TOOLMachine462]

I am trying to test my unlocked strategy but it won't pull up in the strategy analyzer. The strategy is visible in drop-down to select for running the backtest but the parameters do not pull up and the description is wrong. I renamed some of the strategies and made copies by right-clicking in the editing window and doing 'save as'. Some of the copies are working and some are not. Thanks for your help!

Hello TOOLMachine462,

Thank you for writing in and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

Once you have created the copy with the Save As selection, have you compiled the new script? To do this, you'll need to right-click within the code and select Compile or press F5 on your keyboard.

Once you have done this, does the strategy in question now appear in the Strategy Analyzer correctly?

[TOOLMachine462]

Yes, well I clicked the compile button in the top menu then saved it. It has no errors. Is there a limit to the number of user parameters you can have?

Hello TOOLMachine462,

There is not a limit to the amount of parameters you can have in an unlocked NinjaScript strategy.

Can you please provide the script you are trying to load in the Strategy Analyzer that is missing parameters so I may test on my end?

To export your script do the following:

1. Click File -> Utilities -> Export NinjaScript
2. Enter a unique name for the file in the value for 'File name:'
3. Select the strategy from the objects list on the left -> click the right facing arrow ">" to add the strategy to the export
4. Click the 'Export' button -> click 'yes' to add any referenced indicators to the export -> click OK to clear the export location message

By default your exported file will be in the following location:

• (My) Documents/NinjaTrader 7/bin/Custom/ExportNinjaScript/<export_file_name.zip>

I think the @strategy.cs file is damaged, or whatever controls all the strategies. It's like it doesn't see the strategy when I select it in the drop-down. It stays on the strategy that was selected prior to the new one.

Hello TOOLMachine462,

When compiling one script in NinjaTrader, all scripts will be compiled at the same time. A successful compile would denote that all scripts are free of compile errors.

Does this occur even on a default strategy, such as the SampleMACrossOver? Are you able to select the SampleMACrossOver strategy in the Strategy Analyzer?

[TOOLMachine462]

Yes, most of the strategies are fine. Only my long strategies are having issues.

Hello TOOLMachine462,

I was unable to import the file you have provided me in your previous post.

Can you please provide the script you are trying to load in the Strategy Analyzer that is missing parameters so I may test on my end?

To export your script do the following:
Click File -> Utilities -> Export NinjaScript
Please ensure "Export selected source files" is selected so I may look at the source code
Enter a unique name for the file in the value for 'File name:'
Select the strategy from the objects list on the left -> click the right facing arrow ">" to add the strategy to the export
Click the 'Export' button -> click 'yes' to add any referenced indicators to the export -> click OK to clear the export location message

By default your exported file will be in the following location:
(My) Documents/NinjaTrader 7/bin/Custom/ExportNinjaScript/<export_file_name.zip>

The exported file is not showing up in the folder to upload.

Hello TOOLMachine462,

Are you seeing any errors when you try to export your strategy?

Do any messages appear in the Log tab of the Control Center when you try to export?

[TOOLMachine462]

I was looking in wrong folder. I swear this day can't end fast enough! LOL

Hello TOOLMachine462,

I see you are attempting to access information that cannot be accessed from Initialize().

Please take a look at this help guide link for information about Initialize(): http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...initialize.htm

Your strategy is unable to be properly initialized, which is why it's unable to be selected within the Strategy Analyzer.

Lines 45-76 cannot be placed in Initialize(). You will want this logic in OnBarUpdate().

Thank you! That worked. I must have pasted it in the wrong area.
