Hello shahabjet1,

Are you getting an error message?
if so, we focus on the error message. What is the full error message and on what line? (You can provide a screenshot if you would like)

Taking a peak at the code, I have some confusion myself. The class type is strategy but there is indicator generated code at the bottom that can't exist for a strategy. If you are using the NinjaScript Editor to create scripts I wouldn't think this script would even be possible to make.

I have further updated the code, its a Strategy, but am getting errors still, please see the code and a picture of errors attached here, would appreciate any help:

Hello shahabjet1,

Thank you for providing the screenshot of the error messages.

This is confirming that a strategy cannot have generated code for indicators. This script has generated code at the bottom that shouldn't exist.

Is this actually a strategy and not an indicator?
Was this strategy created as a new strategy in the NinjaScript Editor?
Was this strategy created outside of NinjaTrader in a text editor?
Have you copied invalid code from an indicator into this strategy?

I recommend that you start again and make a new blank strategy in the NinjaScript Editor.

Then only copy the logic from OnBarUpdate() to the new blank strategy.

Hi, I fixed it all and it was working; then I decided to add SMA indicator and now I am getting a minor error, I might be doing something tiny wrong, can you please check to see what's causing SMA indicator to give error please? Attached.

Hello shahabjet1,

Are you getting an error message?

If so, what is the full error message and on what line?

[shahabjet1]

Hi Yes. Before adding using SMA indicator there is no problem, but after that it seems there is a minor problem, I attached the error message and highlighted the line...

[shahabjet1]

The code is also in my above message if needed... must be a simple error something obvious that I am doing wrong

Hello shahabjet1,

Is this the newly generated strategy I have advised you create?

Have the using statements at the top been modified in this newly generated script?

Is there a using statement for NinjaTrader.NinjaScript?

[shahabjet1]

Yes all is fixed. Like I mentioned the code was working and only when I added using SMA check its giving me that error

Hello shahabjet1,

I would not be expecting this error for a newly generated strategy. The using statements of a newly generated strategy should be correct in a new script and that error should not occur.

Are you 100% that you have generated a new strategy as I directed?

Can this be reproduced again when generating yet a another new strategy that has no code copied into it?

[shahabjet1]

Can you help please with my question or no? Its a simple request!

Hello shahabjet1,

I think that it's the using statements but i'm not sure.

We will know for sure if we schedule call if you create a new script, do not copy and paste any code, and just add private SMA SMA1; to it. If that new script is also effected, I will need to schedule a call with you so that I can investigate on your end. There might be missing files or something if new scripts are affected.
