Exporting Ninja Script Problems

[Ironplates]

I am getting errors compiling export sources. Error CS0103 The name nBars Down does not exist in current context.

what is up with this?

The same problem happens when my strategy has Bollinger Indicators as well.

Please advise.

Ironplates,

I am happy to assist you.

There is probably a file somewhere else that is causing this issue. NinjaTrader compiles all indicators at the same time.

Please follow the instructions below to see where the errors are coming from after compiling the indicator. This will allow you to debug the indicator/strategy or remove it from your PC. If you are wondering why you receive an error when compiling only one indicator, it is because NinjaTrader always compiles all indicators and strategies - not just one. This is done to give you the highest runtime performance possible.

• Open NinjaTrader
• From the Control Center select the Tools menu--> select the Edit NinjaScript menu item--> select Indicator
• Select an indicator and double click on it.
• A new window will appear and you will need to right click in the window and select Compile to compile the indicators.
• At the bottom of the window a new section will appear where you can find the error locations.
• From there you have the option to comment out offending code sections, remove the complete indicator or debug it to be able to compile again.
• If you are unsure as to what the error is indicating, please send me a screenshot of the error with the name and description fields clearly readable.

To send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screen shot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CRTL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.

Compiling

Compiling a strategy, compiles all strategies and or indicators?

I did as instructed, compiled the indicators that were logged as trouble makers. Did not find any problem report area to comment in, nor understand what that all means.

Export did not work again thereafter

Is the part that I highlighted in red printed exactly as you stated, including the spacing thereof?

Ironplates,

Please see the screenshot attached. The error area is below and shows an error that I made in this indicator.

It will also show errors in other indicators/strategies in that area if there are any because ALL indicators and ALL strategies are compiled at the same time when you hit the compile button.

no it is not exact

[Ironplates]

none of the indicators are displaying this.

I build the strategy with the wizard.

Ironplates,

Perhaps you should contact us at support at ninjatrader dot com and we can schedule a support call to observe the behavior, as its still unclear to me at least what is going on here.

Kindly print the exact message. Unfortunately, computers are inately stupid, so we must see exactly what they spit at us in order to detemine what mistakes have been made.

This is a stale thread, but on the chance that anyone stumbles across it while trying to solve a problem, as I did, this might be the solution. If you reference a built-in indicator in your custom indicator, you need to export the built-in indicator along with your custom indicator. In this specific case, the problem might have been resolved by including the @NBarsDown indicator System indicator along wih the custom indicator per the attachment.

[Ironplates]

awesome, that works!
