Strategies gone!

[henry.omd]

Hi, this is actually not an NT 6.5 specific issue; it's just that I hoped the problem would go away with NT 6.5. As you can see in the attached picture, there are no strategies I can choose from in the Optimize window--not even the system strategies. But strangely, I can edit my strategies and compile them just fine. Since this problem migrated from NT 6, it must be one of the stored files that's gone wrong here, but which file stores the list of strategies available for backtest or optimize?

There is no dictionary of NS strategies.

a) What do you mean by migrating? Did you manually copy files from NT6 to Nt6.5?
b) Is there any funny stuff in the logs?

Hi Dierk, thanks for the prompt reply.

I was working with Josh (certified NT expert) with this issue arising in NT 6.0.1000.5.

NT 6.5 gave me an option during install to migrate from NT 6. As you can see from the attached log, I don't see anything funny.

I am going to try to uninstall both NT 6 and NT 6.5, and remove the NT directory under My Documents (start fresh essentially) and hope the problem goes away. If the problem doesn't go away even after I blow away everything, I would be very surprised. I will keep you posted about the result of this proposed effort, but I am not sure if it will help you, since I am just pressing the reset switch and will therefore not get any nearer to the real problem.

Great. Thanks for feedback.

I ran into something like this a long time ago, and I think I found that I had introduced a coding error into the Initialize method of one of my strategies.

If this is it, you might find which strategy is being troublesome by moving all strategies to another folder, recompile and then bring them back one at a time until you find which one is objectionable.

Good luck.
