File Structure ATSQuadroStrategyBase.GUI Folder #66

Closed TLable closed 2 years ago

TLable commented 2 years ago

As shown in the screenshot, the file structure to the ATSQuadroStrategyBase has similar structure to Ninja Trader 8 folder. Though in the Zip one level above alongside "ATSQuadroStrategyBase.GUI" & "ATSQuadroStrategyBase" folders, which inside the "ATSQuadroStrategyBase.GUI" folder has dissimilar fil structure to Ninja Trader 8 folder, and I ask what is the proper placement to the folder? Does it go on the same level as Ninja Trader 8 inside Documents, or do "ATSQuadroStrategyBase.GUI" folder files have a separate placement inside Documents>Ninja Trader 8 structure.

By your question it is obvious you are off the green and fairway into the woods and rough. No where does it say to use or copy that other folder it only discusses 1 folder and shows 2 routes that both work.

Please see the readme to get oriented again this has been updated. https://github.com/MicroTrendsLtd/NinjaTrader8#readme

Focus only on this branch: https://github.com/MicroTrendsLtd/NinjaTrader8/tree/main/ATSQuadroStrategyBase
