User Defined Methods in Ninjatrader indicator and strategy

You can create user defined methods (global methods or functions) that can be accessed by all custom indicators and strategies. User defined methods should ONLY be created if you intend to re-use these methods over and over again across different custom indicators or strategies. Otherwise, just code your method logic directly into your indicator or strategy. [fon‌t=Arial Unicode MS]►[/font] Sample 1 - Using the strategy UserDefinedMethods.cs file [fon‌t=Arial Unicode MS]►[/font] Sample 2 - Using a separate file for user defined methods UserDefinedMethods.cs You can define and manage all of your user defined methods from within one of two available UserDefinedMethods.cs files.

[fon‌t=Arial Unicode MS]•[/font] There is one UserDefinedMethods.cs file that contain your user defined methods for custom strategies

[fon‌t=Arial Unicode MS]•[/font] There is one UserDefinedMethods.cs file that contain your user defined methods for custom indicators

You can not share user defined methods created for custom strategies with custom indicators. You can edit and manage the UserDefinedMethods.cs file via Tools-->Edit NinjaScript-->Indicators or Tools-->Edit NinjaScript-->Strategies menus from within the NinjaTrader Control Center window. UserDefinedMethods.cs files have unique icons in the Indicators or Strategy Dialog windows. Creating A Separate File Per User Defined Method (Function) If you do not want to have one file that manages all of your user defined methods, you can create a separate file for each user defined method.

[fon‌t=Arial]1.[/font] Via Tools-->Edit NinjaScript-->Indicators open the "UserDefinedMethods" file

[fon‌t=Arial]2.[/font] From within the NinjaScript Editor, right click and select the menu "Save As..."

[fon‌t=Arial]3.[/font] From within the Dialog window, enter a name, for example "MyMethod"

Store all series values instead of only the last 256 values in Ninjascript

debugging the behavior of your orders in Ninjatrader NT7

Sometimes the orders are not working as we expect. So we need to track them to see what's going on there. TraceOrders is a useful property when debugging the behavior of your orders. With the use of this property, you can track orders placed, amended, and cancelled. The traces displayed in the NinjaScript Output window or if used, in the OnOrderTrace Override in the script where this was set. This will provide meaningful information for diagnosis when NinjaTrader ignores, changes or cancels orders when various strategy order methods are called. Examples

protected override void Initialize() TraceOrders = true;

The parameter barsAgo may not work in some function in Ninjatrader Ninjascript

For example: DrawText(string tag, string text, int barsAgo, double y, Color color) protected override void OnBarUpdate()

         DrawText("tag1", "Text to draw", 10, 1000, Color.Black);

The code above will get nothing to show, unless we check first. protected override void OnBarUpdate()
