NinjaTrader and Thread Usage

[CashCache]

Hello,

I've created a new Timer() event handler within my strategy that does some housekeeping. I'm seeing some strange behaviour with the way the timer fires it's events - firing much more often than the interval set.

I would assume only one NT thread would enter my Initialize() method, but the results I am getting makes me think maybe this is not the case.

I tried to seach the forum for "threads" but as you can imagine, that's a tough word to seach for in a forum..

Thanks,

-Scott

Initialize() method is accessed several times while in the process of loading your strategy. Like when it loads the strategy's default settings into the strategy dialog window for you to choose, it accessed Initialize() method once there.

Thanks Josh,

I don't really like the fact that my event hadler for my timer event is static since I have many instances of the same class. I think the cleaner way to handle some basic housekeeping is to utilize the OnOrderUpdate() event. This will be much more respective of system resources.

Thanks for the quick response. I think I have figured out a better way to accomplish what I was trying to do.
