shared class file between indicator and strategy

[junkone]

i have a class file that i cut and paste into both the indicator and strategy to use it but i find it hard to maintain. how can i have my customization in 1 file and have it called by both indicator and strategy classes. i dont want to create a dll as it adds overhead now.

Hello junkone,

Thank you for writing in.

What you can do is make a copy of either the Strategy or Indicator UserDefinedMethods file.

To do this, click on Tools -> Edit NinjaScript -> Indicator/Strategy.

Select the UserDefinedMethods and click OK.

Once the UserDefinedMethods file opens, right-click and select Save As. Enter a name for the new file.

With the new file, rename the namespace to something else and place your custom classes within this namespace.

You'll be able to access your classes from both strategies and indicators by calling the fully qualified name for your classes.

Please, let us know if we may be of further assistance.
