Derive from Strategy Class

[gogetit]

Hi,

Is it possible to create a class, derived from the Strategy class and use it for all the customer strategies?

Let's say I have a common Property I would like to use in all the strategies, but I don't want to declare it each and every time.
Example:

public class myBaseStrategy: Strategy {
        protected int _stopFactor1;

        [Description("First Stop Factor")]
        [GridCategory("Parameters")]
        public int StopFactor1   {
            get { return _stopFactor1; }
            set { _stopFactor1 = Math.Max(1, value); }
        }
}

public class myCustomStrategy: myBaseStrategy {
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()    {
                    
            if (StopFactor1>1) do this and that...
       }
}

If this is possible, where do I create this class to be available to all custom strategies?

Thanks.

gogetit, this is unfortunately not supported - methods could be shared if you put them in the UserDefinedMethods.cs in the strategies section - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...verview45.html

Okay, that's something. Do I need to compile the strategy every time I make a change in that file?

Yes, every change needs to be compiled in all scripts - they all are hosted by the same assembly for highest performant runtime use.
