Strategy Analyzer - Not running my strategy

[travisloneker]

Hello All,
I am currently trying to understand what I am doing incorrectly. I can run my strategy on playback just fine, but when I attempt to run it on the analyzer, it doesn't move any further than where the "Print("00");" is; any ideas?

Here is a snippet of the code (can and will provide more information, if needed):


EDIT: Something I just thought about that could be important. The prints are for debugging, and I noticed that it will print the 00 twenty-four times exactly.

Thank you for your time,
Travis Sloneker

I was able to figure it out; oddly, it was because of the way the first two statements are written.

if (something)
return;

Needed to be written like:

if (something) {
return;
}

Hello travisloneker,

This would fall under general C# education and would not be specific to NinjaScript. When no curly braces are used for the action block, the next command, and only the next command, becomes a single nested statement, meaning no other commands after are nested with that if. This is also known as an inline statement or one line statement.

// no curly braces used to define an action block. the next line becomes a single nested statement
if (true)
Print("a"); // <-- single nested statement run only if the if is true
return; // <-- command not associated with any if statement and will always be run.

// curly braces used to define an action block. anything between the curly braces is run if the if is true
if (true)
{
Print("a"); // <-- within the action block and run only if the if is true
return; // <-- also within the action block and run only if the if is true
}
