Missing indicators when exporting strategy

[InteRadek]

Hi,
I've created a simple Strategy with an Indicator (eg. EMA). Now I want to export this strategy using Tools -> Export -> NinjaScript. When I click add, in Select window I can see some References and my Strategies, but there are no Indicators (Type - All) and Type - Indicators tab is empty. I can't export strategy without indicator used in the strategy's code. Am I missing something?
I'm using freshly installed NinjaTrader 8 Beta 5.

Hello InteRadek,

Can you please set Type to 'System indicators' instead of 'Indicators' and you should see the EMA.

Thanks Jason, I feel silly for not notice it.

Could you also tell me, where in NT8 can I find an ID of a strategy? An equivalent of "this.Id" in NT7 (what returns -1 in NT8).

Hello InteRadek,

I would suggest checking for the strategy's ID in the OnBarUpdate() method.

If you are assigning this value to a variable, for example, you could use a boolean statement to only assign the ID to the variable only one time, rather than on every OnBarUpdate() call.

Example:

private bool obtainedID = false;
private int theID = 0;

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
     if (!obtainedID)
     {
          theID = this.Id;
          obtainedID = true;
     }
}
