Input Variables 0

[Lopat]

Hello,

when I create a strategy, I always get 0 values as standard input. How can I change these default values? Thank you for the support

Hello Lopat,

Thank you for your post.

Default values for properties in the script are set within OnStateChange() > State.SetDefaults, since the logic will be processed each time the script is initialized.

Keep in mind, State.SetDefaults will be processed at the beginning of the lifecycle of the script, and making changes here would involve removing and readding the script as opposed to reloading with F5.

When creating a template, the template takes any of the modified properties the user set and applies those after the script loads to bypass its normal defaults if a default template is used.

Please see the example below on how to use State.SetDefaults within a script.

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
// Calculate once at the end of every single bar
Calculate = Calculate.OnBarClose;

// Add two plots
AddPlot(Brushes.Blue, "Upper"));
AddPlot(Brushes.Orange, "Lower"));
}
}

Additionally, here is a NinjaTrader Help Guide link with more information about State.SetDefault.
