Missing variable in Srategy

[Mannygags]

Hi. I have been working with and fine tuning a strategy of mine. I just recently added a variable to my existing list, but I can't seem to get Ninja to recognize it when I pull up the strategy to backtest or run in simulation mode. It is acting as if it is not there. I have compiled and saved the strategy and each time I open the strategy to edit, I can see it in the code, but it does not seem to get recognized by Ninja.

Do I need to perform another step to get it recognized somehow?

Thanks

Mannygags,

I am happy to assist you.

Yes, there is an additional step if you simply added a variable to the code.

If you look at the section : Properties at the bottom of the editor when you have the strategy open, then expand it by clicking the "+" icon to the left, it will show necessary code for user defined variables.

It looks something like this :

        #region Properties
        [Description("")]
        [GridCategory("Parameters")]
        public int Fast
        {
            get { return fast; }
            set { fast = Math.Max(1, value); }
        }

        [Description("")]
        [GridCategory("Parameters")]
        public int Slow
        {
            get { return slow; }
            set { slow = Math.Max(1, value); }
        }

        [Description("")]
        [GridCategory("Parameters")]
        public int StopLoss
        {
            get { return stopLoss; }
            set { stopLoss = Math.Max(1, value); }
        }

        [Description("")]
        [GridCategory("Parameters")]
        public int TakeProfit
        {
            get { return takeProfit; }
            set { takeProfit = Math.Max(1, value); }
        }
        #endregion

Another quick question. I am looking at purchasing a new amchine to trade on. Is Ninja supported on Windows 7? Are there any known issues?

Thanks again.
