INFO: List of Strategies

[NJA_MC]

How do I get a list of the Strategies configured in NT8?

I just want to get the Strategies much like the Control Center Strategies tab. I guess I am hoping for the "StrategyBase" so I can potentially control/view their status.

When a strategy is enabled, it is added to the Account.Strategies collection and you can obtain information related to the strategy which is running.

But if you're looking for all strategies which reside on the grid (meaning they are configured, but not enabled), there is no sort of public collection which holds this information.

Actually - sorry, there is a static Strategies collection in StrategyBase which will get you want you're looking for

foreach (StrategyBase strat in Strategies)
{
	Print(strat.Name + ": " + strat.State);	
}

Thanks Matt,

I started to play with this, but it doesn't look like all the strategy methods are exposed at the StrategyBase level such as "IsEnabled", etc. I don't seem to be able to dynamically case this or even at compile time to a strategy eg. "((Strategies).strat).IsEnabled" as I get this error:

Indicator 'SampleChartObjectsCollectionChanged': Error on calling 'OnStateChange' method: Unable to cast object of type 'NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Strategies.GHPStrategy01' to type 'NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Strategies.Strategy'.

Actually - sorry, there is a static Strategies collection in StrategyBase which will get you want you're looking for

foreach (StrategyBase strat in Strategies)
{
    Print(strat.Name + ": " + strat.State);    
}

IsEnable is part of the StrategyRender base, meaning it is a UI function. Dynamically enabling a strategy is not something we can currently support.

Matt,

Not trying to remotely enable the strategy, just trying to tell in this case if the strategy is enabled and running. There appear to be other Strategy based Properties/Fields that need to be obtained at that level.

I see - my mistake.

The IsEnable property will just let you know if the strategy is enabled on a chart, and the other properties in the StrategyRenderBase are just used for charting.

If you just want to monitor the strategy, in that case, you want to check the State of the strategy. If a State of a Strategy is Historical/Realtime, then it would indicate that it is running. You can also check other properties like "IsWaitUntilFlat", etc.

If there other properties and fields that you cannot locate, or have a situation you're having trouble monitoring, let me know and I'll be happy to look into that further.
