Error on Generating Strategy

[Austiner87]

Hi NT7 support,

I keep getting an Error on Generating Strategy message when I try to compile strategies, I am trying to make a very simple strategy in the wizard, please see pictures. I do not think I should be getting this error based on a very simple strategy, please help.

Can you post a screenshot of the error message window?

Hello Austiner87,

Thanks for your post.

The logic in the Strategy Wizard looks sound from your screenshots. I would suspect that there are other compile errors on the platform that are preventing this strategy from being compiled.

I have included our instruction for troubleshooting compile errors below.

Troubleshooting Compile Errors

Please follow the instructions below to see where the errors are coming from after compiling the indicator. This will allow you to debug the indicator/strategy or remove it from your PC. If you are wondering why you receive an error when compiling only one indicator, it is because NinjaTrader always compiles all indicators and strategies - not just one. This is done to give you the highest runtime performance possible.

For NinjaTrader 7:

• Open NinjaTrader
• From the Control Center select the Tools menu--> select the Edit NinjaScript menu item--> select Indicator
• Select ANY indicator and double click on it (we need only to open and compile one script to see all compile errors for all files).
• A new window will appear and you will need to right click in the window and select Compile to compile the indicators.
• At the bottom of the window, a new section will appear where you can find the error locations.
• From there you have the option to comment out offending code sections, remove the complete indicator or debug it to be able to compile again.

If you are unsure as to what the error is indicating, please send me a screenshot of the NinjaScript File column and Error column fully visible (not to be confused with the Code column)

To send a screenshot with Windows 7 or newer I would recommend using Window's, Snipping Tool.

Alternatively to send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screen shot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CTRL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.
