Don't see any historical trades

[DarthTraderson]

Hi,

I migrated my strategies form NT6 to NT7. When I place a strategy on a chart I don't see any historical trades? Yes, there are enough bars for calculating trades. New trades are placed correctly ...

Is there a new option or flag in NT7 to see historical trades? Performance view shows also no trades ...

Thx
DT

DT, did you work with ExcludeTradeHistoryInBacktest somewhere in your code perhaps?

No I didn't. Thanks for the hint. I set it explicitly to ...

ExcludeTradeHistoryInBacktest = false;

... but after reloading the strategy, there are still no historical trades.

I tested the MACrossOver strategy on a new chart ... same behaviour ... so it can't rely on my strategies ... any other hints for NT 7 ...?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Hmm, there's no other property that would control this, they should show as long as the strategy is set to 'enabled' state, which is new for NT7 as strategies persist now. Which provider / symbol / chart are you testing on? Any log errors worth mentioning?

Thanks

Ok ... I found an something interesting in my code. I'm using Pivot-Points and calculation is computed through ...

double value = Pivots(PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.DailyBars, 0, 0, 0, 20).PP[0];
Print("The current Pivots pivot value is " + value.ToString());

... during backtest and when there is no live-chart everething works as excpected. But on getting live ticks the PivotPoint 'value' is 0 for every day in history and for the current day too ...

Have I use the Pivots-Indicator in some special way? In NT6 it works for me as shown above.

Thx

Do you load enough historical data for them to calculate as expected? For calling hosted indicators like the Pivots you would need to ensure you have valid values before working with them, we have a dedicated sample for this topic here - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ad.php?t=33061

[DarthTraderson]

Yes, there are enough bars ... I found the bug by myself ... referring to this thread .. http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ad.php?t=29991

Using HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData works for me, because Zen-Fire don't support DailyBars ...

Thx for responses
