Strategy Sometimes Disappears

[NinjaTrader_Austin]

Mark, thank you for the video. I will try reproducing and see what happens.

I was able to reproduce this issue and I will forward it on to development. Thank you again for your time and assistance in solving these kinds of issues.

You are welcome.
All said NinjaTrader 7 is nice and you folks have done well.

Mark,

This happens because your strategy is disabled. When you rewind the Market Replay it resets the Replay101 account and this means disabled strategies are removed as well. Running strategies are readded, but disabled ones are not.

Josh.

That is totally Illogical. It makes debugging a strategy totally painful. If i did not want the strategy there then I would remove it with a right click. To have the application remove it does not make any sense at all from a functionality perspective. It is absolutely annoying when I need to keep adding the strategy back. Add the time spent doing that when debugging or checking strategy performance and you end up with a huge annoying time waste.

additionally while the app remembers the size of the strategy properties ..it does not remember the strategy properties window position...so having to move the window and re-size and scroll to set all my strategy settings just adds to the pain when this happens frequently.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have added it to our feedback list.

I have captured on screen/capture video an instance where a Strategy Disappears even though it is ENABLED.

This is not the first time it has happened. I was lucky to capture it. It is annoying and happens often. While the behavior of having the strategies disappear when they are disabled is anoying, the behavior of having them disappear when they are enabled is even more annoying.

At time stamp of 2 minutes and 3 seconds on the video the ENABLED strategy disappears.

Mark,

Please bring up the Data Series window on your chart and inform us what the last date is when connected to Market Replay. And do you actually have replay files for all the dates you selected or were those arbitrary dates chosen at random? Also, do you see anything in your Control Center logs that would elude to your strategy being removed due to a runtime error from the strategy code?

here is a thread w/ a screen shot of my market replay and underlying data.

Yes I do have data ..L1 and L2 for all days.
I do not see anything in the logs that would indicate why that may or may not be happening. I will see if I can post the trace file from that period when the video was made. That may help.
