Why do indicators created in stategy not show on chart?

[atrader]

The converted code from 7 does not work. The version 8's sample code does not work either. Anything went wrong? Thanks!

Hello atrader,

Thanks for your post.

If you want to have a strategy display an indicator on the chart, you would need to use the AddChartIndicator() method. Reference: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...tindicator.htm

Thank you Paul! As I mentioned earlier, your sample code does not work either and AddChartIndicator() is used too. I never have this kind of issue in Version 7. To make it simple, how can I make your sample works? Thanks!

Hello atrader,

Thanks for your reply.

In order to assist further, please provide some specifics of what "sample" is not working for you. Do you see any error messages listed in the "log" tab of the control center related to the "sample"?

Also, please identify what specific version of NinjaTrader8 you are using (found in Help>About).

The sample is "SampleMACrossOver". There is no any information in the log. And I am using version 8.0.5.0 64-bit (Standard). Thanks!

I find out the reason. There is an Enabled choice in the initial setup which does not exist in version 7. I just activated it, and it started working.

Discrepancy in documentation for: AddChartIndicator

Online doc for AddChartIndicator states:

Warning: This method should ONLY be called from the OnStateChange() method during State.DataLoaded

however this generates an error in the log:

'OnStateChange' method: 'AddChartIndicator' cannot be called from this state. Please see the Help Guide article on 'AddChartIndicator' for more information.


If AddChartIndicator is called in State.Configure -- no error is logged.

Please update your docs or fix the implementation.

Thank you

Hello EquityBoost2,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the forums.

What specific version of NinjaTrader 8 are you using? (Look in Help>About)

Can you provide a sample strategy that demonstrates the issue.
