Unable to start strategy

[molecool]

One of my strategies suddenly won't start. I turn it on and nothing happens - it remains false. Nothing in my log or output window except for this:

**NT** Enabling NinjaScript strategy 'CrazyIvan/e045ec7fb22d4e6887b242c2c9048b53' : On starting a real-time strategy - StrategySync=SubmitImmediately SyncAccountPosition=False EntryHandling=AllEntries EntriesPerDirection=1 StopTargetHandling=PerEntryExecution ErrorHandling=StopStrategyCancelOrdersClosePositio ns ExitOnClose=False Set order quantity by=Strategy ConnectionLossHandling=KeepRunning DisconnectDelaySeconds=120 CancelEntryOrdersOnDisable=False CancelExitOrdersOnDisable=True CalculateOnBarClose=False MaxRestarts=10 in 30 minutes

8/5/2013 17:13:37 CancelAllOrders: BarsInProgress=2

This is on any workspace and on a brand new chart. This is a fresh NT installation and I have fixed and then reset my DB.

Any ideas?

Is there more in the output window?

Does at any point it say something like
**NT** Disabling NinjaScript strategy 'CrazyIvan/04e61ccd8adb42fab44d12c56b912a60'

If you would like to post or mail in a sample of the script I can test it on my end.

You may already have checked this, but you can't enable strategies if you have the chart trader activated.

Where do I find the chart trader? But I don't think that is it as my other strategies load fine.

No, as I mentioned - this is what's confusing me. It refuses to launch without any error messages. What I supplied is all there is!

Figured it out...

I was loading a second day series and had too few bars on my chart - not sufficient to populate a day I guess. Weird however - NT should have issued some type of warning, so that definitely goes into the suggestion box.

Thanks for the information. Could you provide step by step instructions for reproducing this issue? This will allow me to recreate on my end and better assist our development team.

Simple - create a new strategy, add a second series of the same instrument set to daily. Then load up 100 (or perhaps less) 5-min bars on your chart and enable the strategy. It will come on and then terminate immediately without an error message as there aren't sufficient days to populate the series.

Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce this on my end. Are you able to provide a simple script that replicates the issue?

What are you placing in OnBarUpdate()?

When I enable the script in the way you described the script enables and runs without error even though no daily bars are complete (I placed on a chart with 25, 5 minute bars)
