Cannot create any strategy, always there is an error showing up--Urgent

[sarder2008]

HI,

Every time I try to create a strategy I get this error coming up. It doesn't come up in the Remove Ninjatrader assembly, so I cant remove it. I found the file int the indicator folder and removed it. But it still coming up. I cant build any strategy. Please help.

Hello sarder2008,

Thank you for your post.

Are you able to open a NinjaScript Editor window (New > NinjaScript Editor)?

If so, if you right click on the window and select Compile, are any errors seen? If so, please provide a screenshot of the Editor window showing the errors.

When exactly does this error occur? When trying to use the Strategy Builder? When opening the indicators dialogue?

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

Hi,

I installed the Ninjatrader again with the repair option and it got fixed. Thanks for your support. Where can I get guidance to create a strategy using the builder?

Thanks again

Hello sarder2008,

Thank you for your reply.

We do have resources to help you begin creating NinjaScript Strategies/Indicators. All links below are publicly available.
The best way to begin learning NinjaScript is to use the Strategy Builder. With the Strategy Builder you can setup conditions and variables and then see the generated code in the NinjaScript Editor by clicking the View Code button.

I'm also providing a link to a pre-recorded set of videos 'Strategy Builder 301' and 'NinjaScript Editor 401' for you to view at your own convenience.

Strategy Builder 301

NinjaScript Editor 401

A selection of examples of how to set up common conditions in the Strategy Builder is available from our help guide here:

If you are new to C#, to get a basic foundation for the concepts and syntax used in NinjaScript I would recommend this section of articles in our NT7 help guide first:

Basic Programming Concepts

For general C# education I have personally found Dot Net Perls to be a great reference site with easy to understand examples.

We also have great resources in relation to Strategy Development on our Support Forum. There is a very active developer community in our support forum that supplements the responses provided by NinjaTrader support staff providing all users with an exceptional support experience.

Take me to your support forum!

There are a few Sample Automated Strategies which come pre-configured in NinjaTrader that you can use as a starting point. These are found under New -> NinjaScript Editor -> Strategy. You will see locked strategies where you can see the details of the code, but you will not be able to edit (you can though always create copies you can later edit via right click > Save as)

We also have some Reference samples online as well as ‘Tips and Tricks’ for both indicators and strategies:

Click here to see our NinjaScript Tips

These samples can be downloaded, installed and modified from NinjaTrader and hopefully serve as a good base for your custom works.

Further, the following link is to our help guide with an alphabetical reference list to all supported methods, properties, and objects that are used in NinjaScript.
