Instrument.GetInstrument not appearing in Intellisense

[jeronymite]

In the NinjaScript Editor, the Intellisense for Instrument. does not include Instrument.GetInstrument. Can this be rectified?

Thanks.

Hello jeronymite,

I am finding this is available.

Are you opening Visual Studio by clicking the Visual Studio icon on the NinjaScript Editor toolbar?

[jeronymite]

Hi Chelsea,

I am not using Visual Studio. This is a NinjaScript Editor started from the Control Center.

Thanks.

Hello jeronymite,

Apologies, I'm not sure why I immediately thought you were looking for this in VS.

I am showing this is available in the NinjaScript Editor as well.

Are you using 8.0.21.1?

Thanks, Chelsea.

I am on 8.0.21.0.

Here is what I see:



I would have expected GetInstrument to be there. Am I missing something obvious?

Grateful for your advice. Thanks!

Hello jeronymite,

May I confirm that this script is an indicator or strategy and is extending the Indicator or Strategy class?

Hi Chelsea,

It's an Addon.

Thanks.

Hello jeronymite,

I'm not certain which namespace this Instrument in your script is inheriting from so use the fully qualified namespace NinjaTrader.Cbi.Instrument.

Hi Chelsea,

That did it!

When using the not-fully-qualified name, why does it not appear in Intellisense, yet I can still add it by simply typing it and it works?

Thanks.

Hello jeronymite,

Likely an issue with inheritance and ambiguity. Use the fully qualified namespace.
