Default Pop up a chart via a program trigger

I would like to program an alert that when a certain condition is met it pops up a chart. Is there a way to do this? Can you point me in the right direction?

It would also work if if would bring a chart window into focus.

Hi mtech,

Thank you for your post.

For this, you would want to use the Market Analyzer.

For more information about creating alerts within the Market Analyzer, please see the following link to our Help Guide: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...onditions.html

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or if I may be of further assistance.

Yes, I have tried Market Analyzer and the associated alerts. How do I make it so that the market analyzer opens a chart window when an alert condition is true.

Ideally, I could program something like the following:

If Alert.Status = True then
Dim ChartWindow as NinjaChartWindow = New NinjaChartWindow
ChartWindow.Ticker = Alert.Ticker
ChartWindow.Open
End If

Hi mtech,

Thank you for your reply and the clarification.

I'm sorry, I had missed the pop-up a chart bit.
Unfortunately, this is not supported.

I will, however, forward this to my development team for further consideration as an addition to future releases.
