StrategyPlot - Stops plotting correctly in real time

[r2kTrader]

Hi,

I will provide more detail, but first I want to know if there is a quick fix for a common issue.

I am using StrategyPlot to plot a spread between two stocks.

it works, everything is doing as expected. The part that I want to know if anyone has run in to is when you run it in real time, it's correctly plotting up to the point you start the strategy and then as it runs in real time, the plot just keeps falling as though its not getting new data. Mind you if I "reload" the historical data, it then re-adjusts and shows correctly.

I am using multi-series and I am using bars in progress, etc.

If this is rare or unheard of issue, I will provide code and more detail. My guess is I am missing something obvious.


Thanks,

Hello,

I cannot tell what is going on from you description below. What does "falling" mean exactly, etc.?

Please post your code and a screen shot of what you are seeing and I will try to assist you.

Hi r2k Trader,
I am having the same problem. It happens when I set CalculateOnBarClose = false in my strategy.
Have you come up with an explanation?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Do you set CalculateOnBarClose somewhere in a called / referenced indicator? Then please remove the call completely and retry, this is a known bug fixed in NT7.

Hi Bertrand,
thank you for replying.

The answer is yes, I have a call to CalculateOnBarClosein the indicator plotted by the strategy, as I developped my indic with the wizard.

Could it be the problem why the indicator did not plot when I tried to plot it directly using Add() in the init ? (currently I use StrategyPlot).

Thanks.

Hello,

Jumping in here, sorry.
That doesn't sound proper. Can you post a code snipet?

no pbm,
I already sent the strat+indic Attn Bertrand on 11/09.
I can do it again if needed.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

fle, you set CalculateOnBarClose in each referenced indicator > please remove those from the indicator Initialize() methods and then set this only from the calling strategy, then please rerun to test again.

I have removed them, and will as of know in all indicators that I will develop.

However, if I set COBC in my strat, at the first non historical tick the indicators go to zero.

I will stick w/ COBC = true, as I have other concerns (with multi instruments synchronisation).

Thank you for your help.
