Timer wrong activity

[ninjo]

Hi,
Taking this official example:
https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...barsperiod.htm

I am setting a timer in my indicator code, but this doesnt work.
No error on the compilation, and "MyCondition" are working


What I am doing bad?

Thank you

        private System.Windows.Forms.Timer alertTimer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();

        protected override void OnStateChange()
        {
            if (State == State.SetDefaults) {


            }
            else if (State == State.Configure) {

                alertTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(alertTimerFunction);
                alertTimer.Interval = 1000;
            }
            else if (State == State.Configure) { }
            else if (State == State.Terminated) {

                alertTimer.Stop();
                alertTimer.Tick -= new EventHandler(alertTimerFunction);
            }
        }



private void alertTimerFunction(Object myObject, EventArgs myEventArgs){
    if (CurrentBar > 0){
        TriggerCustomEvent(alertTimerEject, Close[0]);
    }
}
private void alertTimerEject(object nada){
    Print("alertTimerFunction " + DateTime.Now);
}




protected override void OnBarUpdate(){
        if(myCondition){
              Print("My condition works");
              alertTimer.Start();  
         }
}

Hello ninjo,

Thank you for the post.

What is the action you are doing in the timers alertTimerFunction? that was not displayed in the sample.

I would be unsure what is happening without seeing the alertTimerFunction method.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hi Jesse, excuse me, i forgot part of the code.

I edited the code and added the lost functions.
Its a simple example that are printing in the output window.

Thank you.

Hello ninjo,

Thank you for the reply.

I would be unsure why what you provided is not working by looking at it.

I tested the sample from our help guide here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...gerCustomEvent

And see this working on my end, I have attached that sample as a zip. Can you try applying this to a chart and check the output window?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

All right Jesse,
Works if the timer Starts in the State.Configure section
