Newly Created Strategies Not Showing Up in List

[Trader146]

I have recently created a few strategies that are not in the list when I attempt to add them to the chart. They are visible and editable from Editor, and they are in the bin/custom/Strategies folder, but not in the list to be loaded. What could be the problem?

Also, I moved some older strategies out of the bin/custom/Strategies folder in an attempt to archive them and clean up my strategies list, but the strategies I moved still show up in the list and I can still add them to the charts. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Well, I found out what the problem was. See below if you care to.

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{

//SMA1 = SMA(Close, 14); //This, uncommented, prevented this strategy from showing up in the list to be added to a chart.
//SMA2 = SMA(Close, 28); //This, uncommented, prevented this strategy from showing up in the list to be added to a chart.

Hello Trader146,

Thanks for your notes.

Indicator objects, such as "private SMA SMA1;" should be instantiated in OnStateChange() when the State == State.DataLoaded, not in State.SetDefaults.

See the SampleMACrossOver reference sample that comes default with NinjaTrader for an example of this.

To view the script open a New > NinjaScript Editor window, open the Strategies folder, and double-click on the SampleMACrossover file.
