Strategy Analyzer is not working

[Alaina19]

Hi, When I try to back test any of my strategies, nothing will populate on the strategy analyzer. Not sure what is wrong since I followed a step by step tutorial online. I don't think my strategies are running either because I've enabled them but have yet to have them take a position. But maybe that is another issue.

Hello Alaina19,

Who are you connected to for historical data?

If the strategy is in the Strategy Analyzer, is there data appearing on the Chart Display of the Strategy Analyzer?
Importantly, are there errors appearing on the Log tab of the Control Center?

Try testing the Sample MA Crossover strategy included with NinjaTrader on the same chart or Strategy Analyzer using the same instrument, bar type, interval, and date range.
Do you see results with the Sample MA Crossover strategy? (This would confirm for us data is available and the issue is with the logic in the custom script)

If the strategy is getting data and the strategy is enabled or a backtest is run with no errors in the Log tab of the Control Center, and the Sample MA Crossover is returning results, then would likely indicate the logic conditions in the custom strategy did not evaluate as true or orders are being ignored or cancelled.

In order to better understand how the code is working, it will be necessary to use Print to see how the conditions are evaluating and enable TraceOrders to see if orders are being submitted, ignored, rejected, or cancelled.

Below is a link to a support article that demonstrates using prints to understand behavior and includes a link to a video recorded using the Strategy Builder to add prints.

Enable TraceOrders, print the time of the bar and all values used in the conditions that submit entry orders. Include labels for all values and comparison operators.
Let me know if you need any assistance creating a print or enabling TraceOrders.
Save the output from the output window to a text file and provide this with your reply.
I'll be happy to assist with analyzing the output.
