Cannot run backtest on a new strategy

[stratfreak]

Hi,

I have several custom that I comfortably run backtest on. However this new strategy does not even load (meaning it compiled successfully and appears in the pull down menu of the backtest but I cannot select it).

1. In this strategy I am also trading two secondary securities besides the primary
2. The Initialiaze code is

protectedoverridevoid Initialize()
{
SetTrailStop("", CalculationMode.Percent, 50, false);
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
AccountSize = 30000;
Add("IWM", PeriodType.Day, 1); // MCSE
Add ("TIP", PeriodType.Day,1); // TIP
}

Hello stratfreak,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

Are there any error messages on the Log tab of the NinjaTrader Control Center after attempting to load your strategy? If so, what do these messages report?

Do you see the parameters for the strategy properly show in the parameters section of the Strategies window? Or do they show the previous strategy's parameters or no parameters at all?

I look forward to your response.

Figured out the issue

Thanks for responding Patrick. I figured out the issue and it did curiously seem to the related to the error. One of the securities was not imported. Once I set up the security everything was ok.

btw there were no messages in the log. It would be helpful to troubleshoot in future if there are specific message on why a strategy is not loading.

Regards

Vinay
