why am i seeing this and how do i fix it?

[Ragdoll]

I am trying to the Bars.BarsSinceSession function. I have used this before and it has worked flawlessly but now I am seeing this in the log and it won't compile.

**NT** Error on getting/setting property 'Bars' for strategy 'reversal/84a7c06a5975436e9a85dc3524df569f': Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: 'Int32 Bars' Key being added: 'Int32 Bars'

how do I fix this I have upgraded to the latest version with no luck.

thanks

Hello Ragdoll,

Thank you for your note.

Can you get me the most simplest form of code that reproduces this error for you?

[Ragdoll]

The simplest version I am using is:

if (High[1] == HighestBar(High, Bars.BarsSinceSession - 1))
{
do something clever
}

I have also tried saving as a different name and it follows to the new name.

I also eliminated the call altogether and I still get the message when I try to enable the strategy

Hi Ragdoll,

I believe that HighestBar returns an Int representing some number of bars ago. In your "if" statement, you're comparing a price (High[1] which is a double value) to an integer value. Not sure if that's the extent of the problem, but it seems likely you're not comparing two items which make sense to compare.

good point

that should read High[HighestBar(High, Bars.BarsSinceSession)]

I am still having this problem

Ragdoll,

Please provide the script that you are using so I can test this on my end.

here it is .

it wont compile because it says no definition of type BarsSinceSession for int

Hello Ragdoll,

Can you send me a request at support[at]ninjatrader[dot]com with Attn Cal in the subject and a reference to this thread in the body.

I want to go ahead and setup a remote support session

Please note:
I have ALS and I am totally paralyzed(hence the name Ragdoll)
I use an eye gaze device to type so interactive sessions can be slow.

Resolved!

Moral of the story:
Don't name variables using same name as reserved words. I had a variable named Bars for future use defined. DOH!!

Thanks Cal
