calling a funtion in an ontimed event

[ballboy11]

i have a an on timed event and I know that part is working , but how to I call my function

I am getting an Object reference required for a non static field



private static void OnTimedEvent(Object source, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
MyFunction();

}

Do I create an event handler?

Hello ballboy11,

You would need to remove the static modifier from your OnTimedEvent method. You made a Static method, that means to access MyFucntion it would also need to be static. In almost all cases static is not the right choice and you should instead use an instance.

If this event was in an Indicator or Strategy, it should look similar to the following:

private void OnTimedEvent(Object source, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
    MyFunction();
}

private void MyFunction()
{

}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

}

There is also a sample which has a Timer and Event listed in the following page, you can ignore the TriggerCustomEvent part and focus on the Timer and its event handler: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ghtsub=trigger

Thanks Jesse. It worked perfectly. I need to research more c# I can code quite a bit but the static etc is where I need more research. THanks again.
