Installed Kase Statware and now I can't compile any of my code

[cunparis]

When I try to modify my strategies I get compilation errors:

Has anyone tested these indicators with Ninjatrader 6.5?

I'm completely stuck. I'm going to have to uninstall them so that I can modify my strategies..

Hi Cunparis,

Yes, try to uninstall and reinstall these indicators.

Hi Cunparis,

Yes, try to uninstall and reinstall these indicators.

I did that. I also confirmed the problem on a 2nd computer.

When I say I have to uninstall them I mean maybe for good.

Yes, it is a problem in their code. I tried their library and had the same issue, they hand edited the ninjascript generated code for some reason and misspelled one of the indicator names

On a side note, cunparis/sefstrat, assuming you get it working... how do you like them?

I tried the free version on the forum but wasn't very excited about it.

Try renaming the file "NinjaTrader.KaseStatWare65.cs" file in your Custom folder to something other than .cs

After that everything should compile, but the indicators wont show up in the strategy wizard. When you need to use them in strategies, name the file back.

Your workaround seems to work for modifying my strategies that don't use their indicators, which is great.

But if I want to write a strategy using their indicators? So I need the filename to be .cs right? and if it is .cs then my strategy won't compile.

The free version is interesting but nothing like the real ones. The real ones are giving me divergence signals but price seems to keep going. I'm still experimenting and can report back later. I just installed them yesterday.

Cunparis, you can modify the KaseStatware.NinjaTrader.cs file yourself and fix the offending line.. just look for the function that is named in the error message. One of the characters is not capitalized when it should be if I recall correctly.

Then you will be able to compile and use in strategy.

As to the value of Kase indicators, I would say they are better than most of the stuff people try to pass off as commercial indicators but you can find free ones which are just as good if not better.

Thanks, I've just been using the work around, but it's good to know there is an actual solution.

I still haven't delved into any of them too deep aside from the PeakOscillator, and I think the best thing about it is how it plots divergences and local/global 'peakouts'. It would be cool if those functions could be referenced in other indicators to provide the same functionality...

Every one of the indicators is offending, it's not just one line. Maybe it has changed since you used them? I checked and here is the first offender:

private KCdlEngulfing[] cacheKCdlEngulfing = null;

the name of the class is exactly the same as it is in the indicator dialog for my chart, so I don't think there is an issue with capitalization.

If you can recommend any free indicators that are good at detecting divergence I'd be very interested.

Thanks

Figured it out

Ok, two things:

- rename the file as suggested, apparently it's not needed
- in a strategy, right click and add reference to the DLL

Voilà!

Thanks a lot guys!

Was Kase tech support not helpful during all of this? Just curious, since it seems to clearly be their problem.

I haven't contacted them yet because this was over the weekend.

I get the impression that it may have been on purpose. I do not think they were designed to be used in a strategy because there are visual indicators drawn on the graph that are not available via the indicator properties. this makes them less useful than I originally thought.

Also the strategy in her book seems quite complicated to code in a strategy. It uses multiple timeframes and divergences.

I hate that. Has happened to me before as well.
