How can I make an Addon that reads manually drawn fib levels?

[xxzbill]

I drew a fib retracement on the chart, and ran below addon code on button_click event:
----
ChartControl CC=myChart.ActiveChartControl;
for(int i = CC.ChartPanels[0].ChartObjects.Count-1; i >=0; i--)
{
string s=CC.ChartPanels[0].ChartObjects[i].Name;
if(s=="Fibonacci retracements")
{
Print("Found Fib");
ChartScale CS=CC.ChartPanels[0].Scales[1];
Point[] pts=CC.ChartPanels[0].ChartObjects[i].GetSelectionPoints(CC,CS);
foreach (Point pt in pts)
{
Print(pt.ToString());
}
break;
}
else Print(s);
}
----
The result is:
----
Found Fib
0,0
0,0
0,0
----
How do I make the Addon read the selection points successfully?
Thank you!

Hi xxzbill, thanks for your note.

I have an example here that detects manually drawn horizontal lines and labels them:

If you could make a reduced copy of your script I would be happy to take a look at it if the above does not resolve your inquiry.

Thank you Chris for the tremendous help. I was able to read fib levels learning from your suggested codes.

I am trying to accomplish the following:
1.manually draw fib retracement on chart
2.manually click my custom button added to chartTrader part of chart
3.button_click automatically reads the price of a specific fib level, and places entry buy
4.on fill of entry buy, addon automatically sends stop loss and take profit bracket orders

I have finished step 3. Now stuck on step 4.
OnOrderUpdate event doesn't seem to work in the addon namespace (only in indicators and strategies).
How can I detect entry order fill from an AddOn?

(edited for related questions)
-A 2nd question if possible, on button_click event, I also want to send stop buy orders that is 4 tick above last trade price. I got everything figured out except how to get the the last trade price from within the button_click event.

-Another question, on button_click event, I also hope to send buy order at price of the current mouse cursor position on the chart. Would it be possible to read price level corresponding to mouse cursor position on the chart?

Thank you for any insight!
Thank you !

Hello xxzbill,

Any NinjaScript can subscribe to Account OrderUpdate events to receive order update events for that account.

I have an example indicator that implements AddOn code for submitting orders with Account.CreateOrder and Account.Submit. This example submits orders to the price level clicked on the chart. It also uses TriggerCustomEvwent on the button press so the reference to Close[0] is accurate.

Account.CreateOrder - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...reateorder.htm

Account.Submit - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nt8/submit.htm

TriggerCustomEvent - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ustomevent.htm

I look forward to assisting.

Thank you very much. These information is helping me along quite well.

Question, after creating an order with myAccount.CreateOrder() and before myAccount.Submit() it, it seems impossible to cancel it(in case the market changes and I no longer want the order). If I just myAccount.Cancel() the order (without account.submit first), NT order page will say "Cancel pending", there will be an reverse order line on the chart trader, and there is nothing I can manually do to progress from this order status except reset the sim account.

It seems after account.CreateOrder, the order is not only stored in an order object, it is also stored as part of the account. There is no account.DeleteOrder to remove it from the account. At this point if I don't want the order to carry out, I can either submit it and immediately cancel it, or cancel without being submitted which will stuck it in "Cancel pending" status. Besides these 2 ways, is there a better way to cancel the order created by account.CreateOrder?

Thank you!

Hello xxzbill,

The order will need to be submitted first before it can be cancelled. Cancelling before submission would not be proper usage and the order may then get stuck where resetting the sim account would be necessary to get the order unstuck. I would suggest setting the order object to null if you don't want to submit it.

We look forward to assisting.

[xxzbill]

Thank you. That makes sense.

Another question, would you know an indicator/addon that reads past trades in an account, and plot a green/red line from open order to close order for win/loss trades?

Thank you!

Hello xxzbill,

Thanks for your message.

Reading past trades from the account would require accessing the NinjaTrader SQL database. This would exceed the level of support that we could offer, but I could point you to a NinjaTrader 7 thread where community members discuss reading the database file.

We look forward to assisting.
