Hello to the forum,

so far I have programmed equilla. With this programming language,
I was able to develop functions that could be used by any workspace.

I would now like to develop in Ninjatrader 8 methods that avoid multiple calculations and can be used by all strategies.


I have programmed a small example with which I would like to read the number of price changes from different strategies.

 

Code

// inner nested organizing class public class Methoden     { //        private int counterTest;                          public static double CountDelta(double firstPrice, double secondPrice)             {                 int counter = 1; // ?? // counterTest ??                 if (firstPrice != secondPrice) counter++;                 return counter;             }         }

Unfortunately, I get no value over 1.
How do I correctly initialize Counter?

The support tells me that a method can not be bar-related. Is that correct?

How would you solve such a problem?

Apart from time-related methods, I found no further examples of methods. Why?

Thank you for the support!

Kay


PS: The example has no special meaning; I am concerned with the question of whether and how I can count and evaluate events from different strategies.

Hi Kay,

I have moved your question to the NinjaTrader Programming section, hoping it will attract more viewers who are able to address your question.

Good luck.
