I am trying to debug a error - Code CS1501

No overload for method " SetState" takes 0 arguments

This is a NinjaScript File -

Hello berringer,

Thanks for your post.

Here is a link to the helpguide section concerning the error code CS 1501: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...us/?cs1501.htm

The error message is advising that SetState() requires an input between the "()".
Here is a link to the helpguide for SetState() method: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG.../?setstate.htm

Here is a link to the helpguide that shows the various inputs for SetState(): http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...-us/?state.htm

SetState();

if (IsFlat)
{
if (RegimeIsBullish && ReachedNewLowClose && ReachedLowRSILevel)
{
Buy();
}
}
else
{
if (IsLong && ReachedNewHighClose && ReachedLongExitRSILevel)
ExitLong();
}

Hello berringer,

Thanks for your post.

I am unsure what you are asking. The code example is out of context as I do not know where it exists. Can you post (attach) the complete strategy? If you do not wish to post the strategy, you are welcome to send it into PlatformSupport[at]NinjaTrader[dot]Com. mark the e-mail subject Atten:Paul and include a link to this thread.

The complete strategy

The complete strategy - CesarSalad

I am unable to compile due to error as indicated previously

SetState();

if (IsFlat)
{
if (RegimeIsBullish && ReachedNewLowClose && ReachedLowRSILevel)
{
Buy();
}
}
else
{
if (IsLong && ReachedNewHighClose && ReachedLongExitRSILevel)
ExitLong();
}

What is the purpose of SetState() in the code? It seems to be pointless.

I didn't write this script - I follow instruction at a YouTube link on how to create the Strategy - it fails to compile- see here:

Hello berringer,

Thanks for posting your code.

In the OnBarUpdate() method you have this line: this.SetState();

Later you have this line of code: void SetsState()

I believe the intent of the first line is to call void SetsState.

Note: Not to confuse things but to hopefully clarify, the method SetState() is a NinjaTrader defined method. If you change the 2nd line to void SetState() then the code will compile it however, I would recommend against using the name SetState because it is confusing due to the fact that NinjaTrader has a same named method.

What I suggest is this:

In the OnBarUpdate() method you have this line: this.SetMyState();

Later you have this line of code: voidSetMyState()

Basically you can name this as you wish as long as they are the same.

Now it works - voidSetMyState() did the trick, I need to pay more attention to spelling

Thank You
