Is instantiated strategy updated immediately after re-compile?

[momchi]

Hi question is this: say I have a strategy that has been running/added to an account, then I update the code and recompile --
when is the new code going to take effect? Is it sufficient if I enabled/disabled the strategy, or I need to remove the existing instance and add it (as new) again?

This is a response from a user while you are waiting for an official answer. You can remove the existing instance and add it (as new) again, as you suggest, but that will require also resetting any customized parameters. An easier method is to right-click the chart and select Reload NinjaScript. Merely disabling and re-enabling a strategy will not cause a newly compiled version to be used.

Caveat_lector, thank you and appreciate your response - my question was two-prone to know if after I recompile a strategy and then (for other reasons) enable/disable a strategy, it would run the new code, which can be desirable or undesirable ...

Hi momchi, thanks for your post.

If you make code changes in the OnStateChanged method, you must remove the script from the chart/control center and re-add the script after compiling. If you change code anywhere else you can press "F5" on your keyboard or right click and select "Reload NinjaScript" after compiling.

Please let me know if I can assist any further.
