Extract EnterLong EnterShort into Class

[Airwave]

Hi everyone,

for a better reuse of my own entry strategy I want to extract EnterLong, EnterShort and other functions into an extra class.

Unfortunately following is not working. Is there a way to get this working?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

public class myStrategy: Strategy
{
Ordermanager myOrders = new Ordermanager();


protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

myOrders.Long()

}
}

public class Ordermanager : Strategy
{
public void Long()
{
var order = EnterLong(100, "name");
}
}

Hello Airwave,

Thank you for your reply.

You'd want to create a partial class and put your reusable methods in there. How you have this currently is that you're essentially making 2 separate strategies, and strategies can't really talk to each other - you can't call a strategy from another strategy. I'd check out the section on Partial Classes on this page of our help guide:

Please see the sample script at the following forum post that demonstrates.

Hello Kate,

Thank you, that helped a lot.


But still have following problems.

I've created a shared class in the addons folder.
In the class I have following (here simplified) code:


namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Strategies
{

public partial class Strategy

{

public class Ordermanager
{

public void Long() {

var order = EnterLong(100, "name");

}

}

}

}

Unfortunetely I cannot access the EnterLong here?
Error CS0120 An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'StrategyBase.EnterLong(int, string)' NinjaTrader.Custom


Hope you can help me again.

Cheers

Hello Airwave,

Thank you for your reply.

You may be missing some using declarations in your addon script (you'll need to expand this section at the top of your code to see them). I'm attaching a few example scripts that may be helpful in figuring out what may be missing. Make sure there's one for using NinjaTrader.NinjaScript;.
