Strategy Using Custom Methods from Addon

[cutzpr]

I am creating a custom partial class to handle to hold some code I will be reusing through out several strategies. But when i call the custom methods, it seems the strategy does not execute the code. No orders are placed and I do not get any errors in the log nor output screen.

snippet from my addon file:

namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Strategies
{
    public partial class RemoteControl : Strategy
    {
        
        // This can be accessed from within another addon with MySharedMethodsAddonExample.SharedDouble
        // or can be accessed from any script using NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AddOns.MySharedMethods.SharedDouble
        
        public static DateTime lastWriteAlive
        { get; set; }

        public void BuyBid_rc(int ordersize, double Bid, string SignalName)
        {
        EnterLongLimit(ordersize,Bid, SignalName);        
        }
        
        public void SellAsk_rc(int ordersize, double Ask, string SignalName)
        {
        EnterShortLimit(ordersize,Ask,SignalName);
        }
    
    } 

Snippet from my strategy referencing the custom partial class

private RemoteControl RC;
RC    = new RemoteControl();

 if (GRUp)
         {
         if (!(DrawObjects["DotUp" + CurrentBar] != null && DrawObjects["DotUp" + CurrentBar].GetType().Name == "Dot"))
                Draw.Dot(this, "DotUp" + CurrentBar, true, 0, GetCurrentAsk(), Brushes.Blue);
            
         
             Draw.VerticalLine(this, "Vline" + CurrentBar, 0, Brushes.LightBlue);
           // EnterLong(0,orderSize,"G2Up");
             RC.BuyBid_rc(orderSize,GetCurrentBid(),"G2Up");
         }
         
         
           if (GRDn)
            {
            if (!(DrawObjects["DotDn" + CurrentBar] != null && DrawObjects["DotDn" + CurrentBar].GetType().Name == "Dot"))
                     Draw.Dot(this, "DotDn" + CurrentBar, true, 0, GetCurrentBid(), Brushes.Red);
                      
               Draw.VerticalLine(this, "Vline" + CurrentBar, 0, Brushes.PeachPuff);
            RC.SellAsk_rc(orderSize,GetCurrentAsk(),"G2Dn");
                //EnterShort(0,orderSize,"G2Dn");
             } 

the strategy runs correctly if uncomment the original Entry orders.

Why does RemoteControl inherit from Strategy?

Is the RemoteControl class a strategy?

No, it's not.

It's just a plain old ordinary helper class.

When defining RemoteControl, it should be redesigned with a constructor to accept the 'this' object, so that it can call methods from the Strategy object it is being used by.

Check out the first post from this thread. Download the OP's attached code file and study his helper class called ExitManager. You need to borrow the idea behind this technique and do the same for your RemoteControl class.
