Hello bltdavid,

Thank you for your reply.

Jim is out of the office today and I would need to confirm that with him. I will confirm whether or not this would be the case with him when he returns.

Thanks in advance for your patience.

Hello bltdavid,

We are only going to provide support/advise for things that are documented and have been thoroughly tested/used by our support team.

We don't have educational examples built using abstract classes so we are not going to provide insight for using them with NinjaScript.

Understood, thanks!

Sure.

Study the attached files.

The abstract base class "MyStrategyBase" acts like a middle-man.

You're inserting this class into the inheritance hierarchy, and anything
in MyStrategyBase has full and complete access to the class it inherits
from -- in this case, the Strategy class.

You add your own methods, variables, properties, to MyStrategyBase.

The reason this is so powerful is that you are extending the 'Strategy'
class with new 'features' -- sorta like what a partial class does -- but
you can really fine tune the contents of MyStrategyBase for just one or
two strategies -- or you can make it a common base that you use for all
your strategies.

Inheritance is the heart and soul of OOP, and the C# language supports
inheritance extremely well.

There are lots of resources on the web.
Inheritance is a standard feature of the C# language.

Good luck!



For sample strategy attached, it will color the background based upon the
begin/end times you specify (but stop coloring for the break period, which
represents known high volatility times, like for an economic report).

For ex,
Trade BeginTime = 600
Trade EndTime = 1100
Break BeginTime = 900
Break EndTime = 930

Restricts trading to the hours 6am to 11am, with a 30min break starting
at 9am. All times 24hr format, and all times are local.

This breaks the strategy analyzer.
Optimization results when opened default to the base class unfortunately.
