Uploaded strategy Does not appear in strategy builder

[Mpena88]

Any idea why a strategy that was imported not show up in the strategy builder? It shows up in the strategy section of the charts and has no compile errors.

Perhaps there is an error in the log tab?

If it's anything like some indicators or strategies I've made, and somehow broken temporarily, they would disappear completely as an option, and I found there was some sort of error that was causing it to not load. Fixing it allowed it to be used again.

I cleared the log tab but still nothing. Strategy works but want the option of opening it in strategy builder

I found this from another post
"You cannot manually code a strategy that has not been unlocked from the Strategy Builder. You would need to edit the strategy using the Strategy Builder. For example, if you needed to modify a condition in the strategy, you would do so in the Conditions and Actions screen of the Strategy Builder.

If you clicked the 'Unlock code' button and unlocked the script, the strategy would no longer appear in the available strategies list of the Strategy Builder since it was unlocked. To edit an unlocked strategy, you would need to open a New > NinjaScript Editor window, open the Strategies tab, and double-click on the strategy file to open it. Once you open the strategy file, you could edit the code of that file in the NinjaScript Editor window."

I'm guess you have imported a strategy that has already been unlocked, therefore you no longer have the ability to opening it in strategy builder.

Hello Mpena88,

Thank you for your post.

Similar to what rockmanx00 has suggested, a strategy will not show up in the Strategy Builder if it is not a Strategy Builder script. If it has been manually coded, it will show up in the Editor but not the Strategy Builder. Or if the script has been unlocked from the Strategy Builder, it will no longer be able to be opened within the builder.

That makes sense. Appreciate the responses.
