You'll need to catch the exception and print the stack trace.

Try this idea,

Rename your 'protected override void OnBarUpdate()' to
'private void RealOnBarUpdate()' and then add this code,

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    try {
        RealOnBarUpdate();  // <-- your renamed OnBarUpdate
    }
    catch (Exception ex) {
        Print(ex.ToString());
        throw;              // <-- [URL="https://www.google.com/search?q=c%23+throw+exception+in+catch"]re-throw exception[/URL] [URL="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22623/best-practices-for-catching-and-re-throwing-net-exceptions"]very important[/URL]
    }
}

The idea is to wrap the entirety of all OnBarUpdate processing
in a try/catch block -- so that you are guaranteed a full and compete
stack trace any time OnBarUpdate generates an exception.

Oops, as you state in the subject line, you'll also want
the exception message sent to the Ninja log file.

Add this line inside the catch block,

Log(ex.ToString(), LogLevel.Error);

You should be aware of a warning from NinjaTrader.

Huh? What warning?

If you look at NT's own NinjaScript Best Practices, the
'Error handling practices' section specifically advises
against using a giant try/catch block.

I would argue this 'giant' try/catch technique is actually
quite manageable and can be extremely useful.

It is very specific. The purpose is to catch all unhandled
exceptions (which, by definition, are all bad) and the only
thing it does with that exception is print the stack trace,
but then it re-throws the exception so NinjaTrader's own
exception handling can occur normally.

Re-throwing the exception properly should negate any of
the unmentioned problems this 'best practice' help page is
warning against.

As far as performance issues, there are zero, zilch, none,
nada -- the try/catch is dormant code until an exception
occurs -- at which point, the paramount concern is printing
the stack trace and re-throwing the exception.

Printing the stack trace (using this giant try/catch technique)
in production code is completely safe -- and in my opinion,
is the exact kind of production code you want.

Simple. Effective. Brief. Fail-safe.

Think about it, when an unhandled exception occurs, what
happens? NinjaTrader stops the strategy. Is it that large
of a 'performance' issue that you get a stack trace before
the strategy is stopped? How else are you going to catch
an unknown and unhandled error in production?

I suggest you embrace my example code wholeheartedly
and leave the code in production.

Just my 2˘.

thanks your reply. i will try this.

Hello moneyexe,

In general I recommend adding prints above each line. The last print to appear is above the line causing the error.

You could also use Visual Studio debugging which will show you the line.

The error is telling you one of the variables you are using has a null value.
