Wow: NT strategy analyzer completely broken

[MarkZ]

I have written 3 test strategies - one (s1) has been tested and works OK, one (s2) - compiled, not tested yet, one (s3) - developed today by copying some code from s1 (I did fix code as to class name, etc.).
When I tried to compile s3 - got several strange errors referring to s2 (error code CS1518). Now, if I try to compile ANY strategy (including your samples, like SampleMACrossOver), I get exactly the same set of errors (below) - all referring to s2!
I tried exiting strategy analyzer - does not help.
I tried exiting NT - does not help.
VERY discouraging to see NT completely BROKEN!

Hello MarkZ,

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.

It looks like inside of "Strategy2.cs" there is some programming errors. You may double click on each line and try to see if you can see what is going as it will take you to the Script and the line of the issue. 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.

Happy to be of further assistance.

First, I'm compiling a STRATEGY, not an indicator! So, are you saying that when I compile my strategy - it compiles ALL OTHER strategies? This seems absurd to me - and differs from any other IDE that I've ever seen in 20 years. But thanks for letting me know - at least there is no mystery then.

Hello MarkZ,

Yes, that is correct. Our Development team is taking that into consideration for our next major release of NinjaTrader.

Let us know if we can be of further assistance.

I encountered a similar problem when compiling my strategies and upon searching for a solution I came across this thread. Has the issue been addressed by the development team in the latest release?

Hello mbesha,

Thank you for your note.

This change (compiling one script at a time instead of all scripts), if implemented, will not be implemented in NinjaTrader 7 but may or may not be implemented in a future major version of NinjaTrader.

In the meantime, I am happy to assist you in resolving the error.

May I have a screenshot of the error with the Error column fully expanded so that I may read the entire error message?

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.
