Moving Strategies

[dmking]

If I have created strategies within the STRATEGIES FOLDER and then created a sub folder how can I move those strategies to the subfolder?

TIA

Hello dmking,

In the NinjaScript Editor in the Explorer pane to the right, right-click in the Strategies folder > select New Folder > give the new folder a name.

Then drag and drop any unlocked strategies you would like into this folder in the NinjaScript Editor.

Thanks Chelsea. You all provide excellent customer support.

OK, so I did the above, but can't drag and drop. There is not that says the files are locked.

Hello dmking,

Be sure to close the script before moving it and be sure to click and drag on the filename.

Below is a link to a video that demonstrates.

I have a question about this matter.

When i move an indicator into a folder as shown in the video, the line that begins with 'namespace' will show the folder name at the end.

Ex. if my folder is named 'TrendIsYourFriend'
//This namespace holds Indicators in this folder and is required. Do not change it.
namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators.TrendIsYourFrie nd // <-- folder name added at the end of this line

But when i apply the same steps to a strategy it is not the case.

Before moving the strategy into the folder named 'TrendIsYourFriend'
//This namespace holds Strategies in this folder and is required. Do not change it.
namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Strategies

After moving the strategy iinto the folder named 'TrendIsYourFriend'
//This namespace holds Strategies in this folder and is required. Do not change it.
namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Strategies // <-- no change

How is that? Do i need to manually add my folder name at the end like this ?
namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Strategies.TrendIsYourFrie nd

If i do, will that cause problems and put some restrictions to the scope of some of my Variables, Extentions etc. which are public?

Thanks

Hello trendisyourfriendtrendisyourfriend,

The strategy cannot be called by any other scripts so the namespace should not make a difference.

Are you seeing the strategy show in the custom folder in the Strategies window?
