Strategy trades don't appear on chart

[skat100]

My strategy is on the chart but no trades appear, neither historical or live in simulated account.

Would you please provide me with a checklist of all things that must be in place or activated for trades to appear on the chart.

I am receiving live data and I have imported historical data.

Thanks.

Double click on the chart and ensure trade markers are enabled.
Check Control Center logs for runtime errors.
Ensure your strategy actually would have placed trades during this time through prints in the code.

When I execute the following steps:

Open NinjaTrader
File > New > Chart
Format data series :> Currency > EURUSd >30min > Start 8/1/2009 > 10/23/2009 > OK

RESULT: New Chart, no trades shown, no strategy header, strategy button grayed out. If rightclick menu, Strategy grayed out. OR, new chart, trades shown, not strategy header OR new chart, no trades shown, strategy header shown


When I execute the following steips:

Open NinjaTrader
File > Open Workspace > LinRegX
Connect: Sim101
Tools > Historical Data > Format Data Series >Currency/EURUSD / 30min > Start8/1/2009

RESULT: Chart appears with trades but no strategy header.

You need to be connected to a data provider before you can add any strategies onto a chart.

Once you add a strategy onto the chart all executions shown on the chart will only be executions related to the strategy. If your strategy doesn't trade, there will be no executions drawn. Suggest you just try the SampleMACrossOver to see the behavior in action.

I am not sure what you mean by connected to Sim101. Sim101 is a trading account that does not provide data.

You should try SampleMACrossOver to see the expected behavior.
