Multiple classes within strategy

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Unfortunately we only support the inheritance model which in enforced by the strategy wizard. In addition I suggest to not use the strategy name "Trade" to avoid confusion.

Anything outside that scope would be beyond what we are able to provide support for. It may or may not work. In any case you would need to try on your own.

Sefstrat,

I have been employing this technique to centralize code and I found that setting up a base class using this type of a template was very efficient.

One thing to remember is that in classes that inherit from the base, you have to do the following in your constructor.


public class MyClass : MyBaseClass
{

public MyClass(Strategy s) : base(s)
{
// put your initilizing code in here.
}

}

Yeah Trade class should not inherit from strategy for what you are trying to do.

Pass your strategy into Trade constructor if you need to access Strategy members.

ie

public class Trade
{
Strategy s;

public Trade(Strategy strat) { s = strat; }

.....
}


then inside your strategy:

Trade t = new Trade(this);
