How to GetAtmStrategyEntryOrderStatus from an Addon

[pmaglio]

Hi,

Let say we have sent an ATM Order from an AddOn using

Order buyOrd = null;
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AtmStrategy.StartAtmStrate gy(selectedatm, buyOrd);

How can I know the status of that ATM ?
Tried to use string[] entryOrder = GetAtmStrategyEntryOrderStatus(buyOrd);

but it looks like GetAtmStrategyEntryOrderStatus does not exist in the current context

Thanks !

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

The Strategy ATM methods differ from the Addon ATM methods, in the case of an addon generally this approach would be targeted at more of a custom tool that has ATM function like ChartTrader or the SuperDOM. NinjaScript strategies specifically have a small set of methods to gain control over the ATM rather than a custom tool which may instead use the existing order overrides like OnOrderUpdate or OnExecution and also Order objects.

I would suggest to review the syntax used in the addon framework example here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ad.php?t=84087

This shows the syntax to create an order using an ATM, but also uses the a variable to store the entry which can later be checked in other states.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

How can I convert an indicator for Ninjatrader 7 that does the following ;
It configures and load a strategy from the indicator and then if it is not running (checkbox not selected on control center strategies tab ) it enables again ;

private SampleStrategy mystrat;

OnStartUp()
mystrat = new SampleStrategy();
mystrat.Instrument = base.Instrument;
mystrat.SetBarsPeriodInstrument(new Period(PeriodType.Minute,1,MarketDataType.Last),ba se.Instrument);
mystrat.Days2Load = 1;
mystrat.SessionData="Default 24/7";
mystrat.Unmanaged = true;
mystrat.TimeInForce=TimeInForce.Day;
mystrat.SetUp();
mystrat.Enabled = true;

OnBarUpdate()
if( !mystrat.Running) mystrat.Running = true;

The most important extensions seems not to be present on Ninja 8, like Running or isRunning...

Thanks !

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately these items I could not provide solutions for, in general starting a strategy programmatically is not supported/documented.

I am not certain of what internally is required to instantiate a strategy the same way the core would, so this would be a subject I could not assist with. I could really only suggest to manually apply the strategy when you want to trade to ensure it is enabled correctly.

There is a feature request in place for programattically starting strategies, so I will add a vote to the request for you.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
