State.Configure and OnRender

[Bidder]

Hi All,

Hopefully quick question about the sequence of events in the NT lifecycle for an indicator. Would it be true that any logic (like initializing a string array) contained in State.Configure would happen BEFORE the very first call to OnRender() ??

Thanks.

Hello Bidder,

Thanks for your post.

Yes, that is correct. State.Configure in the OnStateChange() method will occur before the call to OnRender() occurs.

This could be seen by adding a print in a condition that checks if State == State.Configure in OnStateChange() and also adding a print to the beginning of the OnRender() method. Then add the indicator to a chart an note a New > NinjaScript Output window to see the prints.

See this help guide for more information about the NinjaScript Lifecycle: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...fecycle_of.htm

Let us know if we may assist further.

Got it. Thanks.
