Strategy freezing NT

[trader413]

The code below is a part of a strategy that I am currently developing. This is the only entry code i have wriiten so far, the remaing portion of this code only deals with managing dynamic target and stops and calculating variables.

My problem is, if you notice below you will see that my entry code is commented out. If i were to uncomment this code and try to run it, my NT7 will freeze. Once i comment it out, it runs ok. I don't know why this is happening. I never had this problem before and it just started happening.

Can someone please tell me what going on .
Thanks

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)
{
if(Stest == 1
&& Low[0] < Risk(1).Risk2[0]
&& Skew == -1)
{
// EnterShort(DefaultQuantity, "NSE1");
DrawVerticalLine("My vertical line" + CurrentBar, 0, Color.Blue);
PrintWithTimeStamp("dxdddddddddddddddddddddddddddd dddd");

}
}

trader413, how are you running this strategy? On a chart, in a backtest, or from the strategy tab? Could you please post the entire strategy or mail it to support at ninjatrader dot com (attn: Austin - ticket 509631) so I can test this out myself?

I am running it on a chart. I dont want to post my full strategy on here and it reference several different indicator that you would have to have installed for the strat to work. Is there any other way of finding out why is it freezing whenever I have that entry code?

[NinjaTrader_Austin]

Simple entry codes should not be crashing NinjaTrader. Are there any errors in the logs (right-most tab of Control Center)?

This is what I am seeing.

Thanks, so no errors then? Could you send me your trace file from My Documents/NinjaTrader 7/trace/trace.20110701.txt (or yesterday's, if that was when the error occurred)?

[trader413]

Whenever I run that code NT freezes and I have to force close it via task management. So I am not sure if by me doing that, I also delete any unsaved error messages. Attach is the file. I dont understand, if I exclude that one line of code, everything works fine.

[NinjaTrader_Austin]

trader413, thanks for the info. Please update your NinjaTrader installation (.4) to the latest version (.6) and then open up any script and re-compile it and let me know if that doesn't work.

Hi again, please follow Jason's instructions in this post - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...44&postcount=2.

Ok i got connected but I am having the same problem. Below is some of the remaing code, everything everything else is just minor calculations between various indicators.


protected override void Initialize()
{

SetStopLoss("NSE1", CalculationMode.Ticks,12,false);
SetProfitTarget("NSE1", CalculationMode.Price, TP);

CalculateOnBarClose = true;
TraceOrders = true;


}


protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

if (ToTime(Time[0]) < ToTime(2, 0, 0))
return ;
if (ToTime(Time[0]) > ToTime(16, 0, 0))
return;

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)

{
SetProfitTarget("NSE1", CalculationMode.Price, TP);
}
while (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short)
{
// Once the price is greater than entry price+50 ticks, set stop loss to breakeven
SetProfitTarget("NSE1", CalculationMode.Price, TP);
}



//
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)
{
SetStopLoss("NSE1", CalculationMode.Price,sRiskNumber,false);

}
else while (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short)
{
if(STPtest == true)
{

//if(Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short)
//{

SetStopLoss("NSE1", CalculationMode.Price,sRiskNumber,false);
//}
}
}

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)
{
STPtest = true ;

}



if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)
{
if(Stest == 1
&& Low[0] < PVP().PVPLine[0]
&& Skew == -1)
{
EnterShort(DefaultQuantity, "NSE1");
DrawVerticalLine("My vertical line" + CurrentBar, 0, Color.Blue);
PrintWithTimeStamp("dxdddddddddddddddddddddddddddd dddd");

}
}

}

Hi there, at this point I'll need the full code to test this out to see what might be occurring. You can export it from File -> Utilities -> Export NinjaScript -> Select your strategy -> it will include all indicators necessary. You can then email it to us (attn: Austin - ticket 509631) and we'll keep it in strict confidentiality.

[trader413]

Omg I am running into every problem today. I am getting an error whenever i try to export my strategy. Take a look at the thread below i am running into this problem when i try to export my strategy because this is one of the indicators it reference.

[NinjaTrader_Austin]

Trader, can you just zip up your entire strategy and indicator folder and send me those? That should get around the export issue and give me all of the necessary indicators.

Another option would be for you to try and strip down your strategy as much as possible (remove the extra indicators) so that it still shows the crash, but doesn't need any non-standard indicators.

[trader413]

The codes I post below is a striped down version of the strat. But never mind I fixed the problem I was having and i am going to mail the strat over to you.
