I'm working with the indicator that I requested to be fixed in this thread: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...-with-strategy , which NinjaTrader_Kate did (and I'm very grateful for that)
However, when I try to create a strategy using this indicator, the strategy simply won't work at all. I'm loading it onto MES's 1 minute chart on 1/24 and have the logic attached below for the strategy. As you can see, it's a simple system that only enters a trade if there's a buy signal (buy signal being above 25 in this case only really means that the buy signal is not 0). However, it has failed to generate a single trade on backtest (even though there were dozens of instances of buy signals on MES being >25 throughout the time tested, if the indicator was simply loaded separately). By the way for the sake of verifying that the indicator was the only thing malfunctioning, I created the strategy shown with no other conditions other than what NinjaTrader had.
Initially, I thought that this error may have occurred due to the opacity's default value being 25, and whenever the indicator was loaded separately, it changed it from 25 to 10, so I simply changed the default opacity in the source code for the indicator from 25 to 10, but that didn't help. I also thought the error might have occurred from the "maximum bars look back" variable in the strategy builder, but changing that from 256 to Infinite made no difference either.
I would also like to note that despite me hitting "Plot on Chart" in strategy builder, the indicator doesn't Plot, so I believe it has some internal error which results in it not working.
It's also worth stating that I did check the Log for errors prior to posting, and there were not any.
Uninstalling the indicator and reinstalling it (believing I might have tampered with it too much) and reloading it again into a new strategy doesn't work either.
I'm at my wit's end at this point and I'd really appreciate support. Thank you!
