Code not catching Error

[elitetradernyc]

Hey guys, I'm getting a popup "Object reference not set to instance of an Object" I tried using a Try Catch block but that did not catch the error and also checked the log file but am not able to pinpoint the line of code causing it. Any ideas on how to figure out which line? I know it has to do with the number of open positions.

Without using a debugger, you could put a unique print line on each line to see how far the program gets before failure.

Print ( "1" );
something;
Print ( "2" );
something else;
Print ( "3" );

And depending on how big your program is, you could start by splitting off in 4 sections, then work your way down to sections within those sections. (divide and conquer).

Well, that would be my plan of attack.

Cool, its weird because I also use CLR Debugger and that didnt catch it either.

Link goes nowhere.

Figures.

It was just a search result on "Object reference not set to instance of an Object" (WITH QUOTES).

there were 5 other threads with that in it...

Without seeing his code, we are in that vacuum once again!

As an idea on how to figure it out, I will point you to this other thread that you opened, and where I gave you my shotgun method.

Hey Koganam, this error is totally different. I think it has to do with the number of positions that my strategy has open at one timewhen I had it at 2 i didnt get the error now ive got 6 at once so somehow that is causing it. I also have CLR debugger installed but for some odd reason thats not catching it this time.

I cannot see why that would make a difference, unless the Strategy is not getting stopped by the error? Is the Strategy not getting stopped?

Lets see what the NT people say.

I figured it out, it was being caused by ExitLong when there is no related long position in the field for entry name.
