Strategy shows in NinjaScript Explorer but not on the chart's list

Hi,
In converting a NT 7 strategy to NT 8, everything compiles and the strategy shows up in the NinjaScript Explorer but not on the chart drop down list.

I have the following as part of the OnStateChange():

protected override void OnStateChange()
        {
            if (State == State.SetDefaults)
            {
                Description    = @"Enter Strategy Description";
                Name        = "MyCustomStrategyName";
                
                Calculate                                   = Calculate.OnPriceChange;
                IsEnabled = true;
                EntriesPerDirection                            =    1;
                IsInstantiatedOnEachOptimizationIteration     = false;
                MaximumBarsLookBack                         = MaximumBarsLookBack.Infinite;
                IsExitOnSessionCloseStrategy                = true;
                ExitOnSessionCloseSeconds                     = 900;
                SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Ticks,20);
                
            }
            else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
            {
                cumProfitSeries                             = new Series<double>(this);
            }
        }

I reviewed the help guide about OnStateChange() and didn't understand it all, so wonder if this is where the problem is causing the strategy not to show.

Also, can you explain why the difference in these:

Description = @"Enter Strategy Description";
Name = "MyCustomStrategyName";

and

Description = NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptStrategyDes criptionSampleMACrossOver;
Name = NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptStrategyNam eSampleMACrossOver;

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for posting.

Can you tell me are you seeing any errors in either the Log tab of the control center or the Output Window?

The included NinjaScript files will have NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource. for strings, this is for localization. you would not need to use NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource in your code or public properties. The way you have the Name now should be correct.

If you are not seeing errors, could you provide the script its self or a complete view of the script?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thanks Jesse for the prompt response. The problem was caused by the SetStopLoss being in the State.SetDefaults, so I placed it in State.Configure.
