UDMs ?

In NT 7 there was a special strategy script named "User Defined Methods". This provided a place to put custom methods (which I use extensively). Is there something similar in NT 8?

Hello spottysallrite,

Thanks for your post.

NinjaTrader 7 used a "UserDefinedMethods" class to define methods to be used across multiple NinjaScript indicators or strategies. In NinjaTrader 8, these pre-built partial classes have been removed to reduce a number of issues which could result from users sharing their UserDefinedMethods.cs files, or overwriting their existing files with copies from a new vendor. Partial classes are now best built manually and saved in the C:\Users\<user>\Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\AddOns folder.

The 'MySharedMethods' reference sample shared by my colleague Chelsea on the forum thread linked below demonstrates how you could set up custom methods that could be accessed by custom indicators or strategies.

You could find information about partial classes and sample code on the 'Implementation changes overview' section of this help guide page below.

Information about creating partial classes in C# could also be found on the forum thread linked below.
