Need to code - Ninjatrader

Hi,
Is there any function which lets me account for connection problems.
eg. when connection is suddenly terminated, do something.

nemesis45, the print could be expected as the Initialize() is called across all scripts of the same category (indicator / strategy).

You could monitor the OnConnectionStatus handler - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...tionstatus.htm

Static variable!

When i declare a variable in ninjascript, just inside my main class
why doesnt it have to be static to be used?!

took me a couple of days to debug this, but i just want to know, if you declare a non static variable, how can ninjascript allow it to be used withing one of its functions?

Each instance of an object shares a static variable.

A non static variable is only per each instance.

And then depending on the scope, that determines where it can be seen within the instance.

class NTstrategy : strategy
{
private int number =5;

function()
{
number =10;
}
}

vs
private static int number =5;

ninjatrader actually allows me to declare number as in example 1. it doesnt have to be static at all. same thing in c# returns an error.

Why is it so? of course when i use a global variable as in this example, i should have to declare it as static in C# , i can code it otherwise in ninjascript. i just wanted to know why is it done this way in NT

nemesis45, you likely tried accessing that non static from a static method in C# directly (as the Main method would be). So that's the difference here.

you are right, thanks a lot
