Strategy-Not Working anymore without changes

[gabga100]

Hello There,

I had a strategy that used to work fine on one of the first versions of NT 7.

Now it is not working anymore, anybody could help? I ahev spent a lot of time on it but really cannot figure out what is causing the bug.

Many Thanks

What exactly is not working? Is it no longer placing orders? Or does it not give you the results you expect?

For strategies add TraceOrders = true to your Initialize() method and you can then view valuable output related to strategy submitted orders through Tools > Output window - TraceOrders

You should also use Print() statements to verify values are what you expect - Debugging your NinjaScript code.

It may also help to add drawing objects to your chart for signal and condition confirmation - Drawing Objects.

Hello,

I used to run backtests with this startegy ...... now the backtests return a 0 $ all the time on any instruments, or time frame .......

I have tried to use the Print statemennt, but it is simply just never called !!!!!! So I presume something crashes ....... would you have any idea what might have changed since couple of versions?

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

There have not been any changes that would affect your strategy

I ran a quick test on the ES 12-12 with GOOG as the ticker and received trades.

What are the exact settings you're using? What symbols?

Can you run a backtest using the SampleMACrossOver strategy?

[gabga100]

I ran this on ticker AAPL , with time periods of both 1 Day ...nothing .....happens

My data comes from Google /YAhoo

Can you please post the exact input parameters for your strategy?

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

Thanks - you have the Data Series set to 1 minute - if you're using the Google/Yahoo connection, only daily data will be available for you.

Please run this test again with the Type set to Day and try again

Thank you but as stated I tried both with daily and minute data .....nothing works ....could you try the startegy with same settings and data daily , does it work with you ?

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

Your strategy has an added minute period type. Since you do not have access to minute data, the test will not run.

You will need to change this to a Day period type and you should b able to run the backtest:

Add(ticker, PeriodType.Day, period );

Same as strategy below but with daily paramter

Hello gabga100,
I tried backtesting the strategy and I could get the trades.

If you use the Kinetick End of the Day connection to backtest the strategy then are you getting any results.
