Strategy Builder

[GibbsB613]

I created a strategy using the builder. I told it do set a stop but when I checked the code, it's not there.

NJ Trader updated and now I'm getting a ninjascript compilation error trying to open the strategy builder.

Hello GibbsB613,

Thanks for writing in to our support forums.

Please follow the instructions below to see where the errors are coming from after compiling a system indicator. This will allow you to debug the indicator/strategy with errors or remove it from your PC. If you are wondering why you receive an error when compiling only one indicator, it is because NinjaTrader always compiles all indicators and strategies - not just one. This is done to give you the highest runtime performance possible.

For NinjaTrader 8:

• Open NinjaTrader
• From the Control Center select the New menu--> select NinjaScript Editor
• Right click in the window and select Compile to compile all NinjaScript objects
• At the bottom of the NinjaScript Editor window a new section will appear where you can find the error locations
• You can exclude the file referenced in the editor by double clicking on the appropriate object type on the right of the NinjaScript Editor window. This will expand the object type folder. You can then select the file with a left click--> right click on the object--> then select Open to begin debugging the file, Exclude From Compilation, or Remove to delete the file.

If you are unsure as to what the error is indicating, please send me a screenshot of the NinjaScript File column and Error column fully visible (not to be confused with the Code column)

To send a screenshot with Windows 7 or newer I would recommend using Window's Snipping Tool.

Alternatively to send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screen shot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CTRL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.

My initial question was not answered:

Here is the screenshot from the other error I'm getting from Strategy Builder.

I uninstalled and reinstalled, and it seems to work now.
