General Variables

[kiss987]

Hello

Does general variables exists on NT7? By general parameters I mean variables which are shared by all running strategies. For example, in case my strategy is running on two charts, a change in the variable on the strategy on the first chart will be effecting the value on the strategy on the second chart as well

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

In NinjaTrader there is not a default "global" variable per say, One way to do this would be to use the UserDefinedMethods file.

If you click Tools -> Edit NinjaScript -> Strategy you will find the file UserDefinedMethods


Inside this file you could do something like the following:

 partial class Strategy
    {
		public static int MyTestValue;
    }

Now from Strategy A, you could set the value simply by calling it by name:

MyTestValue = 100;

From Strategy B reading the data is the same:

Print(MyTestValue);

Because the variable Is marked static it persists between instances of the strategies.

You can find more on static here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/79b3xss3.aspx



Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
