Is there an advanced guide to coding NT strategies? I'm looking for insights about inheriting from Strategy or using partial class techniques. I know the NT Devs do not support their usage but these techniques are valid C# coding techniques. How do the pros deploy their strategies? I want a taste of the glory.

I use inheritance, i mean, I have my own class, onto which I base most other strategies.
However, one drawback is that the base strategy (even skeleton) class is shown in Strategies list (when you open the "Add Strategy" window on chart).
To hide that, I used Abstract class.

and there i had a bunch of helper functions. one of them is https://puvox.software/blog/chart-debugger-window-printbox-for-ninjatrader/
