Trade Count not working NT8

[Silver Dragon]

Support,

I am working on a strategy which uses Trade count NT 8 64 bit. I am testing this in PlayBack. It was working for about 2 weeks then it just stopped working. When it first happened, I reset my database and it started working. Now it has stopped again. Resetting the database did not fix it.

First off, I want to verify my code and make sure it is not user error.

Print("Trade Count Onbarupdate: " + SystemPerformance.AllTrades.Count.ToString());

if (SystemPerformance.AllTrades.Count > 0)
{
//Do Something
}

Results from Print statement:
...
Trade Count Onbarupdate: 0
Trade Count Onbarupdate: 0
Trade Count Onbarupdate: 0
Trade Count Onbarupdate: 0
Trade Count Onbarupdate: 0

If I run a strategy performance report the trades and counts are there.

Checked the log and there are no errors.

What am I missing?

Ok, after playing around with it realized that I added the strategy on the Strategy tab instead of adding it on the chart. When I added the strategy to the chart the trade count worked.

Is this expected behavior that trade counts only work when a strategy is added to a chart?

Hello SilverDragon,

You need to use IncludeTradeHistoryInBacktest when applying to the Strategies tab: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...inbacktest.htm

This is necessary for saving the orders, trades, and executions history. Without the chart this is omitted to save resources.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.
