Placement of user Method code?

[brooksrimes]

If I create a method, where within an indicator or strategy should I place the code?

In the UserDefinedMethods.cs file that can be accessed from Control Center>tools>edit Ninja script and select either Indicator or strategy. The file is accessable in either one.

So the code would be placed right after:

partial class Indicator
{
}

?

Thanks, Dan.

No, I don't think that was right. I need to place it outside the namespace definition like this, right?

// This namespace holds all indicators and is required. Do not change it.
namespace NinjaTrader.Indicator
{
/// <summary>
/// This file holds all user defined indicator methods.
/// </summary>
partial class Indicator
{
}
}
// This method prints out the data and time
private void PrintDateTime()
{
Print(DateTime.Now.ToString());
}

So the code would be placed right after:

partial class Indicator
{
Put code here as in
publicvoid example(int TradeStart, int TradeEnd, refbool StartArrow, refbool EndArrow)
{
}
}

?

Thanks, Dan.

See where the functions/methods go?

[Laserdan]

there are 2 partial classes that are 2 separate files, one for indicators and another for strategies

If you want to create a new method inside your indicator, be sure to place outside of another method, for example not in your OnBarUpdate(), see the attached little example of calculating your custom MA value inside a custom method.
