Enum : Probems

[turbofib]

i have the following code in my strategy :

public class TrendMultiframeTs3 : Strategy
......
switch (type)
{
case TypePeriod.Day:
{Add(PeriodType.Day, period);
break ;
}

.....
Properties :

[Description("Type Periodo del multiframe")]
[GridCategory("Multiframe")]
[Gui.Design.DisplayName("PeriodType")]
public TypePeriod Type
{
get { return type; }
set { type = value; }
}


To define TypePeriod I made a indicators:

namespace NinjaTrader.Indicator
{
public enum LucaPeriodType //added to isolate enum (copiato da un indicatore)
{
Day,
Minute,
Range,
Second,
Tick,
Volume,
}
}


IS CORRECT? ...because i have problem to export the above strategy

Turbofib,

What is the error message you receive when trying to export?

[turbofib]

ERROR cs0246 :
impossible to find the type or the name space of the names "TypePEriod
Probably missing a using directive or an assembly reference

[NinjaTrader_CalH]

Turbofib,

Can you please send me your files that you are using for this?

You can find them in (My) Documents -> NinjaTrader 7 -> bin -> custom -> Strategy and Indicator.

[turbofib]

i don't understand you answer

Turbofib,

Please see my updated post #4

Here is the strategy and indicator

strategy have reduced ... I left only the essential

[NinjaTrader_CalH]

Turbofib,

is there a reason that you are creating a public enum for Period Types?

NinjaScript already has the ability to test for different period types -

I use it in this way because so strategy use the drop down menu where I choose the frame type to be recalled (Is a strategy with multipleframe

Turbofib,

You would want to declare the Enum outside the Namespace of the NinjaTrader.Indicator.

Additionally,here is a reference sample on doing this -

i had already done as in example but they also gave me problems in the export...

However, try again to get it

[turbofib]

Ok..it run and now i can export it....but i ask you last question
In your example (http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3420) the indicator includes enum ..
Is possible to have it on a separate file in order to call with all indicators and strategy that I want?
(My previous file "Lucaperiodtype.cs"" was inside the namespace and then not working properly .. but I do not know how to do it without using the namespace)

Turbofib,

You can use the same script that you were using before you just need to call the Enum outside of the namespace and save it.
Once you start typing the name of it in the strategy it should populate.

#region Using declarations

namespace NinjaTrader.Indicator
{
public enum LucaPeriodType //added to isolate enum (copiato da un indicatore)
{

Tick,
Volume,
}
}

i fill...is all Ok..

but..when i export strategy (where there is the call "enum") i find the same mistake

Turbofib,

You need to declare the enum outside the Namespace NinjaTrader.Indicator
