Sample code for chart trader buttons / Addons

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello rare312,

A ChartExecution collection would not be documented for NinjaTrader 7.
There would not be a documented equivalent for NinjaTrader 8 that I can link you.

I'll look around and if I find something I will let you know.

This thread will also remain open for any community members that would like to provide undocumented code.

Please, let me know even if you will not find anything.

There is an open feature request for a tradeperformance collection for the account tracked with ID# SFT-3088. I will add your vote to this.

Please add my vote as well.

Thanks!

Just found this thread... and a related post might be of interest.

Note: My other post is primarily about reporting... but does deal (properly) with the issues raised here about matching executions - a topic which Ninjatrader does not do a very stellar job of (case-in-point... reporting trades that start with an exit, and end with an entry.. yep. Sighs deeply...)

Hope it is of some help in this discussion,
Cheers,
T.

Hello, Chelsea.
Did you try to find any helpful things related to my question?

Hello rare312,

No, there is nothing supported in NinjaTrader 8 for this undocumented item ChartExecution from NinjaTrader 7.

You would have to loop through the Account.Executions.

Hello NickyD,

This would require a custom coded script. It could be an indicator applied to a chart.

To have logic that can choose if an order is submitted you will want to create your own buttons to submit the orders.

Below is a link to a few examples of indicators that add buttons to charts.

As well as a link to an example script that places orders on a button click, where you could add custom logic to decide if the order is actually submitted.

Hi Chelsea,
I refer to the buttons drawn by the strategies/indicators. I have a button drawn by an indicator on the top of my chart. AFTER I click a button, there will be a faint blue line that is drawn on the top and bottom of the button, indicating that it is being selected.

If I press the spacebar, the button is activated again (without clicking). I have to click in an area outside the button to "unselect" the button such that the blue lines disappear and pressing the spacebar will not activate it further.

I have an indicator that toggles some important chart features using the spacebar. So after clicking the "buy" button, and if I press the spacebar, the indicator fires another buy order without me clicking. As such, is there a way to deselect a button once it is clicked so that further pressing the space bar would not activate it again?

Thanks a lot.

Hello Rainmakersg,

That would be the expected behavior of clicking on anything in C#, that it would get focus.

You can try and give focus to something else with custom C#.

Below is a link to a google search you may find helpful.
