Subscribing to account events erroring out

[greyhour]

I am having an issue subscribing to the events of an account. I have tried to follow the documentation, however it doesn't seem to work for me.

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/NT%20HelpGuide%20English.html?account_class.htm

These are the parts that I am having trouble with:

// Subscribe to static events. Remember to unsubscribe with -= when you are done
Account.AccountStatusUpdate += OnAccountStatusUpdate;​

// Subscribe to events. Remember to unsubscribe with -= when you are done
myAccount.AccountItemUpdate += OnAccountItemUpdate;
myAccount.ExecutionUpdate += OnExecutionUpdate;​

The handlers that I am trying to subscribe too (OnAccountStatusUpdate, OnAccountItemUpdate, OnExecutionUpdate) don't seem to exist. I just get this error here:

The name 'OnAccountStatusUpdate' does not exist in the current context

Am I missing some sort of import maybe? I'm just not sure.


For Context: I am trying to write an indicator that will record any trades made whilst the indicator is in use and print them into a CSV file for ease of tracking them.

Hello greyhour,

To use the code you linked to you would have to have your code be exactly the same as that sample.

The error you are seeing is because you did not copy or have renamed the event methods shown in that sample, you need to also copy those event methods which the subscriptions are using for the event subscription.

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
......​
}

private void OnAccountStatusUpdate(object sender, AccountStatusEventArgs e)
{
// Do something with the account status update
}

private void OnAccountItemUpdate(object sender, AccountItemEventArgs e)
{
// Do something with the account item update
}

private void OnExecutionUpdate(object sender, ExecutionEventArgs e)
{
// Do something with the execution update
}​

Oh of course, I am telling it what methods to subscribe to but don't have them implemented yet.. Thanks heaps!
