Fill Types

[Pourleau]

Hi All,

I have read that Fill Types are not documented.
However, could you tell me if it is possible to Debug.Print the values for series in Types?

I have saved my own Fill Type and have added:

> using System.Diagnostics;

in order to try and use Debug.Print, as I would like to check the values returned by NextLow, NextHigh etc.

Will Debug.Print work, and if so should print to where?
Also, are there alternatives to NextLow, NextHigh that can access other bar data/series?
Could I even instantiate my own bar array to access Close[0] etc on an instrument?

many thanks for any guidance you can offer here

regards

Hello Pourleau,

Custom fill types are not supported by NinjaTrader so I cannot assist with this. This thread will remain open to any community members that would like to contribute.

But as a tip, the NinjaTrader Print() command is available if you include the NinjaTrader.Indicator using declaration. (The indicator and strategy namespaces are included with the @DefaultFillType.cs file)

Chelsea,

Many thanks - appreciate the tip given this is not a supported area.

However while I have:

using NinjaTrader.Indicator;
using NinjaTrader.Strategy;

in the Fill Type using declarations, I get the following error when trying to use Print():

"The name 'Print' does not exist in the current context."

Appreciate if you can indicate any way to get the Print() command to work with Fill Type?

many thanks

Hi Pourleau,

I was incorrect about that.

Print is within an inherited class that cannot be added to your fill type which is inheriting from another class.

At this point I think using the NinjaTrader Print() method is not possible from a fill type.

You will need to use another method to debug such as showing a message box, or writing to a file.
