TriggerCustomEvent different in NT8 from NT7?

[vantojo]

I prefer the way I called a CustomEvent in NT7 because all the samples in NT8 I've seen, the custom event is in-line code.

In NT7 I had TriggerCustom Event like this...

protected override void OnMarketData(MarketDataEventArgs e)
{
TriggerCustomEvent (new CustomEvent(GetTradeSignal), e);
}


protected void GetTradeSignal (MarketDataEventArgs e)
{
}


but I'm getting a compile error in NT8.

I prefer this way because it makes the code cleaner and easier to read, if the event that is triggered has a lot of code in it...

1) can I do this in NT8??

2) looks like I'm missing a using (library)... ??

Hello vantojo, thanks for your post.

NinjaTrader 8's TriggerCustomEvent method takes an Action<object> instead of a CustomEvent. You can define the method then set it as the delegate e.g.

public void MyMethod()
{
Print("here");
}

...

TriggerCustomEvent((o) => MyMethod(), null);

Please let me know if I can assist any further.
