Compilation Errors

Josh,

As you have guessed I am a newbie at Ninja Script. I do have some experience on TradeStation Easy Language. None with C#. Help!


I am getting compilation errors on "GetATMStrategyUniqueId". When I go to the docs for this thing it says I am suppose to

Examples
protected override void OnBarUpdate()

{ string orderId }.

I put this into the attached an with "Unknown" for the string. I got more errors.

Query

Do I have to add Protected override void OnBarUpdate() on each command or just the section dealing with ATM strategies?

What is this unique ID and how do I get rid of these errors.

Thanking you in advance.

Hi jstockman

Your error is because you capitalized some of the letters. It is not "GetATMStrategyUniqueId()" it is "GetAtmStrategyUniqueId()". The "tm" in "Atm" are not capitalized.

The OnBarUpdate() is the section in which you want to put your logic. You don't put it on every entry condition. Whatever is inside the OnBarUpdate() is the algorithm that NinjaTrader will run through every time a bar is updated. It will start from the top and run through till the end of OnBarUpdate(). Does that make sense?

Josh,

Thank-you. I guess NT needs to clean up its docs. This is a copy job from the AtmStrategyCreate() under the help menu

// Check for valid condition and create an ATM Strategy
if (Close[0] > SMA(20)[0])
AtmStrategyCreate(Action.Buy, OrderType.Market, 0, 0,
TimeInForce.Day, GetATMStrategyUniqueId(), "MyTemplate",
GetAtmStrategyUniqueId());


By the by, the code did compile. Thank-you again

Thanks for pointing out the typo in the DOC.
