Enum Issue

[dibDab]

am I doing this right?

define an enum

namespace myENUM
{
public enum tradeType
{
Long,
Short
}
}

define a property

[Display(GroupName = "Parameters", Description = "trading type")]
public myENUM.tradeType tType
{
get { return tType; }
set { tType = value; }
}

initialize

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
tType = myEnum.tradeType.Long;
{
}

compiles ok but if I right click my chart and select indicators, it locks up and I have to restart.

if I remove "tType = myEnum.tradeType.Long" then its ok.

Seems OK to me.

Just a thought ...
Have you tried exiting and restarting NinjaTrader?

Hello dibDab,

You are returning the variable to itself in an endless loop in the getter.

Try the following instead:

[Display(GroupName = "Parameters", Description = "trading type")]
public myENUM.tradeType tType
{ get; set; }

I can add the file if useful
