OnStartUp and OnBarUpdate not called

[cleo4343]

Hello All,

I am a newbee with NinjaTrader and am having a hard time getting started.

I wrote the following basic code. It just prints when the various functions are called.
1) I connect to my data provider,
2) then create a chart.
3) Add the data series "6S 06-13".
4) Open the output window
5) Then I add my strategy "PivotInputTester".

- I get the Initialize print statement running twice and the OnBarUpdate or the OnStartUp are never called.

Any Ideas?

Cheers,
Cleo

Print("Initialize");
}
protectedoverridevoid OnStartUp()
{
// Set any variables or logic you wish to do only once at start of your indicator/strategy
Print("OnStartUp");
// double test = Pivots(PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData, 0, 0, 0, 20).S1[0];
// double value = Pivots(PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData, 0, 0, 0, 20).PP[0];
//Print("The Initialize Pivots' pivot value is " + value.ToString());
}

Print("On Bar Update");

Welcome to our forums Cleo - what chart type and historical data look back are you running on please? Would it change the outcome if you loaded more data before enabling the strategy?

You need to enable the strategy before OnStartUp and OnBarUpdate are called.

Thank you, Enabling the strategy worked perfectly.
