How things work?

[xTrader1]

I am porting my indicators from NT7 to NT8 . I was surprised to see that State.Terminated in OnStateChange occured before State.Configure and State.DataLoaded occur.
I can distinguish between "yours" State.Terminated and "mine" State.Terminated , which , i presume should occur , when the indicator is removed from a chart, placing a flag in State.Configure or State.Dataloaded code.
However I would like to understand how things work internally.
I generated test indicator, which doesn't do nothing .
Placing breakpoints in Visual studio I noticed the following scenario:
1) When "indicators" window is opened on a chart, NT traverses all State.SetDefaults for all items (indicators, strategies, bartypes etc...)
2) When my test indicator is added to "configured" tab, before pressing OK , the following state changes are accessed.:
SetDefaults
3) When OK is pressed the following occurs:
Terminated
SetDefaults again.
Configure
DataLoaded.

Please explain. Sorry in case it is described in help. Thanks.

Hello xTrader1,

Thanks for opening the thread.

I think what you would be looking for is described in the Understanding the lifecycle of your NinjaScript objects help documentation. It has a graphic flowchart describing how OnStateChange() goes through different its different states.

You can find that section here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...fecycle_of.htm

If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you, it seems that's exactly what I experienced.
