Attached Stratedy Will Not Fire

[sdruley]

Any ideas on why the attached strategy generates a FLAT signal only... will not output a BUY or SELL market position

Hello sdruley,

Thanks for your post.

Do you see any errors in the "Log" tab of the control center when the strategy is enabled on a chart?

When you go to the "strategies" tab of the control center is the strategy "enabled" as evidenced by the Enabled column?

If you are successfully enabling the strategy on a chart and no errors are being generated then you would need to isolate the conditions to see which one(s) are not performing as expected.


Please note that you have posted in the NinjaTrader8 strategy development area and we will move your thread to the NinjaTrader7 area.

Hello sdruley,

Thanks for your reply.

NinjaTrader is not compatible with One Drive because One Drive will try to back-up the documents that NinjaTrader changes in the course of its business and this will cause NinjaTrader to crash.

I would recommend making a backup of your Documents > NinjaTrader 7 folder on your desktop and either disabling OneDrive completely, or ensuring that NinjaTrader 7 is not included in the automatic backup.

NinjaTrader 7 files Decentralized

Paul,

Thank you for clarifying the incompatibility between OneDrive and NinjaTrader 7.
I have recently disabled OneDrive but there is a residual problem that I have. One of your NinjaTrader resources, with good intent, created a NinjaTrader 7 folder in my documents and inserted certain files that he believed were pertinent to NinjaTrader and shielded from OneDrive. In doing so, I am left with what seems like a fragmented attempt to organize all of the operational files. Things are decentralized now.
I need help from NinjaTrader to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
