Last year I did a video tutorial on creating an advanced NinjaTrader strategy, and you guys liked it. So I thought that since I don't use NT any more it would be a good idea to do the same strategy as an example in EasyLanguage with MultiCharts.
First, …
about teaching EL (which i just went through), he says that the variable "Ticksize" is not standard with MC.
I tried compiling the script and got an error highlighting that line of code of course. So, how do I get the ticksize variable in MC?
Thanks
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
what is the exact error message you are getting? Although ticksize is a function now, it compiles fine here as a variable. The image from your code looks you declared the variable ticksize fine, that's why the error message would be helpful in tracking the issue down. Also include the exact version of your MC.
You can also try a code with only this
Does it compile? If not, does it compile if you change it to
Also, I noticed you removed the spaces ( MinMove / PriceScale ), to (MinMove / PriceScale), is this significant or just a matter or neatness?
as it happens line 12 is the row with "vars" on it
what is difference between vticksize and ticksize?
why also is the word Ticksize purple when typed? is this because my version of MC is old/needs updated as you say it is now included?
Also, when i type in vticksize it is greyed out like the other variables.
when it is purple does that mean it is ok or not?
