I remembered that I created a signal. and name it !xxx_signal_strategy
but Now I can not find the strategy. I can see it from recent scripts, so I open it , but MC said the study is not there. and now I can not find it in recrent scripts.
I guess MC has some bugs
1, it is not a study. it is actually a signal.
2, MC maybe has some checking rules. it is a signal/strategy, but now I never add a buy/short command in the code. so it is not complete, but MC should not delete my strategy file because there's no long/short command in the code.
Thanks.

Re: lost my strategy
Before you accuse MC has bugs, which it might be true, as all software does, you should take a look at what you are accusing . . .
You have a problem finding a file. I know it is frustrating.
File management is a basic Windows function. MC merely calls the function from the software. All the file handling is performed by the Windows operating system. Windows has been around for a long time. I don't see how there can be a bug in such a basic operation.
I believe your file is still there. It might be in a place you are not looking at.

I don't know what I can say. I have been an IT engineer for about 20 years. it is not that simple.You have a problem finding a file. I know it is frustrating.

Re: lost my strategy
When Multicharts is running, the indicators and signal/strategy can run and compile, it is ok, but after closing the MC and opening it the next time, it may suddenly appear that the indicator cannot be found.
There are some complex mechanisms for file management during startup loading or flushing to disk. Currently, I don't have time to debug this/reproduce this. I hope MC can check the file management. My signal is a little special. 1, the name !xxx_signal_strategy might not be right. 2, the signal file is big, with more than 2000 lines, 3, no buy/sell orders.
also , MC need to check, if you save the indicator/signal to another filename and compile it, and then you open the file->open ,and delete the old name , it will not delete both the old and new file.
I can build the signal again, it is not hard. so it is ok now. and I think I will not face this problem again. Doing normal things is better. No need to delete indicator.

Re: lost my strategy
Did you start the Editor as an Administrator?
Did you set the Windows operating system to permit you the user to modify files?
Did you log in to Windows with the assigned username?

Re: lost my strategy
I've had problems occasionally, finding a strategy and I have had to click on "Name" at the top of the "strategy" category a few times, to re-sort the file names. Then they appear where they are expected to be.

SAME SAME SOMETIME TO TIME !When Multicharts is running, the indicators and signal/strategy can run and compile, it is ok, but after closing the MC and opening it the next time, it may suddenly appear that the indicator cannot be found.

i close all multicharts task, reboot my PC and find them again.
