What's the problem if I add enterLong() inside of Indicator() instead of Stragtegy()?
https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...vel_ii_dat.htm has sample scripts for level 2 book. The book is implemented in the space of Indicator(). What if I add EnterLong() inside of OnBarUpdate() under Indicator()? Is this doable or I have to call EnterLong() under Strategy()? Thanks.Tags: None

The 'Indicator' class does not provide that method.
Think about it:
When your code does this,
Code:namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.[COLOR=#e74c3c]Indicators[/COLOR] { public class MyXXX : [COLOR=#e74c3c]Indicator[/COLOR] { ... } }
The 'Indicator' class does not have a method called 'EnterLong', so you should
receive a compilation error if you do that.
On other other hand,
When your code does this,
Code:namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.[COLOR=#e74c3c]Strategies[/COLOR] { public class MyXXX : [COLOR=#e74c3c]Strategy[/COLOR] { ... } }
The 'Strategy' class does have a method called 'EnterLong', so no error occurs.
Btw, the exact same class name 'MyXXX' is allowed -- this is not an error.
Why? Because the two 'MyXXX' classes are in different namespaces.
It's a bit confusing, because the base classes 'Indicator' and 'Strategy' provide
a huge amount of overlap in the methods they provide -- for example, both
classes have methods called 'Print', 'Alert', 'OnBarUpdate', etc etc.
But only 'Strategy' provides the order methods.
