Pro Tip: Sometimes removing and re-adding an Indicator will fix your problem

[gbourque]

Things sometimes get goofy in the charts. If you've been making a lot of changes to your indicator or strategy and are experiencing a problem you just cant' figure out, I've found multiple times that removing the script from the chart and re-adding it fixes the problem. Sometimes you even need to re-create the chart.

Also, sometimes closing and restarting NinjaTrader is the ticket.

Testing out your NinjaScript code changes, eh?

If a simple right-click and 'Reload NinjaScript' doesn't
seem to bring in your changes, then, yeah, you may
need to remove/add the indicator -- esp if you've
added/deleted plots or other property grid items.

In the worst case, you may need to delete the chart
and/or start with a new chart.

In the truly worst case, you may need to completely
restart NinjaTrader.

For Strategies, I always remove/delete them, or I
just start a new Strategy Analyzer window, which is
where I do all of my test runs for exercising my new
code changes.

The Strategy Analyzer window doubles as a great
sandbox/testbed environment, since you can rerun
your strategy on the same historical dataset as much
as needed to find/isolate/fix problems -- the SA window
can feed you the same historical data repeatedly,
which means you can consistently reproduce most
any problem at will.

Just my 2˘.
