Can NinjaScript Strategy Properties be Hidden?

[NtFan]

I'm running NinjaTrader version 8.0.23.2 64-bit connected to Kinetick (via IQFeed) and Interactive Brokers (via IB Gateway). I have a custom NinjaScript Strategy that I run from the Control Center Strategies tab. When adding a New Strategy to the tab, the Strategies form opens and displays a sizeable number of built-in Properties. Re. these built-in Properties, are NinjaScript statements available to remove them from the form? If yes, which Properties are removable, and what are the NinjaScript statements to remove them?

Thank you in advance for any guidance you might provide.

Hello NtFan,

Thank you for your post.

Yes, that is possible if you know the name of the property you wish to remove from the properties grid. You'd need to use a TypeConverter to do so. I've attached an example that's just a modified version of the built in Sample MA Crossover that removes the default Slippage property from the properties grid. You can also take a look at this example from our help guide for further guidance on using TypeConverters to control how properties are shown: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...r_to_custo.htm

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Hi Kate,

What you demonstrated is simple and powerful; thank you very much! I was able to find the Name for each Property Descriptor that is relevant to my situation, except for one: "Break on EOD." My supposition is that the Property Descriptor for "Break on EOD" isn't exposed at the current time; if you have any insight regarding this, though, I'd much appreciate hearing back from you about it.

In case others have an interest, I've provided below a list of the Property Descriptor Names (and how they're labelled in the Strategies form) that work for me.

Thanks again,

NTFan

Hello NtFan,

Thank you for your reply.

The Break at EOD can be removed using IsStableSession as the property name.
