I have a quick fix for you (hopefully it will work) while waiting for Emini to share his cs file with me. That's what I did on the enclosed strategy (cs file):
1. Removed the codes with JeffsEMA on (4 of them with 2 for Long and 2 for Short)
2. Replaced with EMA(20)_Colors (which you have) underlined in brown
3. Since Perry's suggested entry requirement does not have the chop filter which I added using JeffsEMA, it won't matter much.
I ran both strategies (one with JeffsEMA and one without (replaced by EMA(20)_Colors) on a TF 15-RangeAlt chart. You can tell from the enclosed trade logs that they generated the same trades.
Let's hope you will be able to generate the enclosed successfully. Be sure to remove the problemed one(s) from the Strategy folder first. Good luck!

Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I'm going to attach the .cs automated strategy for Perry's Method. I made a change suggested by Askinfo and removed all the "UmaUtility." from the code Beth was using. I was then able to compile it. It worked for me on Monday and generated automated trades. I have been away the last couple of days so I'll try again tomorrow.
You can run it on Range charts, eg Regular Range and RangeAlt for sure. Yes, you decide the Interval Setting and not necessarily be 15 RB. I tried 4R before.
Haven't tried RangeNoGap yet. Definitely NOT working for minute charts and one needs to change the code for counting the bars.
You made MY day!!! What are RangeAlt and RangeNoGap charts? I guess no gap means just that but not sure how that charts when there is a gap? Anyway, never even knew there were those choices.
Thanks for all your efforts, again, and for sharing so generously - time and knowledge! If you were closer, I'd bake you a cake! LOL
You're most welcome Susan! We're all thrilled that you now resolve the strategy myth .. smile ..
Hey, I love baking. If you have a signature cake recipe (easy to make), please feel free to share it with me via Private Message. Thank you.
Enclosed are the following:
1. I ran the strategy (your version) on 3 different Range charts (Regular, RangeAlt and NoGap) per enclosed. Regular and RangeAlt generated the same trades while the NoGap one was slightly different.
Note: Insufficient historical data to support the above. Just a prelim observation on 1.5 hours timeframe.
2. cs files for RangeAlt and NoGap in case you want to play with them. Simply move them to the following folder:
Not sure if you need to compile them first. Hmm, maybe Big Mike or other member can give Susan some guidance. Thanks.
3. How to specify your preferred time for running the strategy
i. Default when you right-click for the strategy's parameters: 9:40 am to 11:30 am (94000 to 113000)
ii. Example (per enclosed): 1:45 pm to 3:00 pm (134500 to 150000)
Note: Timefinish and Timestart are based on your computer clock.
Enjoy!

This is a slightly modified version of NinjaTrader's Range Bars.
In NinjaTrader's Range Bars, the Open[0] of each bar equals Close[0].
In This version, the Open[0] of each bar equals Close[1] .
NinjaTrader's Range Bars set on a 4 tick range needs …
I'd like to clarify again that I used the strategy to enhance my understanding on Method 1. For example, the lime (Long) and orange (Short) arrows helped my visualizing Long and Short Set Up bars. Then I counted 5 bars (incl the Set Up one) to double-check the entry point which should be either 1 tick above or below the HH/LL. I only sim-ran the strategy for a few hours in total not counting the short tests to resolve the compilation myth.
I have no intention to sim-run the strategy or trade it live. For me, it's an education tool and I'm done with it. I have been manually spotting the signals and am currently sim-trading TF (15-RangeAlt) with PT/SL @10/13.
I'm very grateful for Perry's sharing and guidance. My warmest apologies to Perry for taking up his thread's "space" in addressing some automation issues. I'm also very sorry for the unexpected compilation issues that may have caused grievances on some of you!
That's why I emphasized many times that it's BETA LOL! Please bear in mind that it's written by one (me) who does not know the language.
hey beth,
i think its a great way what you showed here : how to use the strategy-coding to make things completly clear.
if you have a system in mind + you try to bring it on paper with every nuances, its worth to try it with coding it as an indicator / strategy
- even if you dont want to automate it.
you can make it more visual + see if you have defined it clear enaugh ...... + not having some bad "thoughts" in it.
i do it the same way + i think its worth a lot for learning / education / diving really deep into it
- cause its not only in your mind (wich can fake you sometimes) but it has to be defined 100% clearly!
