Custom button to execute ATM Strategy and order quantity from chart trader

[asmmbillah]

Do you have any exiting sample script which executes ATM strategy selected and quantity from the chart trader when you press that button? if not, can you please point me to the right direction? thanks in advance.

Hello asmmbillah,

Thank you for the post.

Are you trying to configure the ATM in some way before submitting it with the custom button? Generally with the chart trader atm selection you would just use the existing chart trader buttons to submit that order.

There is an addon example which submits ATM orders however that uses its own custom ATM selector. You could also take a look at the addon StartAtmStrategy method https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...tmstrategy.htm

You can get the atm from the chart trader similar to this and create an order: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...775#post752775

I look forward to being of further assistance.

thanks for your reply. It was helpful. But What I was looking for is, I am adding a button on charttrader grid, when I click on that custom button, it will enter entry order (which I am coding in the script), but it will start the atm strategy which ever is showing now. if none is showin it will not start any atm. I just need to grab the strategy atm showing selected only. Please note, I have multiple atm strategy already set, but I want that button to execute only the one I have selected before pressing the button. I hope, that clarifies.

Hello asmmbillah,

You should be able to use the second link I posted for that purpose to find the selected ATM strategy. There is a sample in that post.

Please let me know if I may be of additional assistance.

sorry, I am a bit confused with that. Are you talking about this post in this link? https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...m-an-indicator

Hello asmmbillah,

No i had not provided that link, if you look in post number 2 in this thread there are two links, the second link goes to this page: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...not-a-strategy

In that thread there is a sample of getting the selected ATM strategy from the chart trader.

[asmmbillah]

Thanks for clarifying. There are two attched sample, one is MenuContent.cs by NinjaTrader_JessicaP, another is ChartTraderGetSelectedAccount Zip file attched by you. or there is a code provided,
NinjaTrader.Gui.NinjaScript.AtmStrategy.AtmStrateg ySelector selector = chartTrader.FindFirst("ChartTraderControlATMStrate gySelector") as NinjaTrader.Gui.NinjaScript.AtmStrategy.AtmStrateg ySelector; NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AtmStrategy.StartAtmStrate gy(selector.SelectedAtmStrategy, entryOrder); which one you are referring to? Thanks in advance

Hello asmmbillah,

It is post number 7 in that thread.

[asmmbillah]

thanks very much

[asmmbillah]

That was very helpful. From the below, does entryOrder has to be an unmanaged order or can it be a EnterLong(), can you please explain:
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AtmStrategy.StartAtmStrate gy(selector.SelectedAtmStrategy, entryOrder);

Hello asmmbillah,

You cannot use Strategy based methods with the addon methods. You would need to see the first link I provided in post number 2, that shows using StartAtmStrategy and also Account.CreateOrder.


Please let me know if I may be of additional assistance.

Thanks for your suggestion,

Hello asmmbillah,

I don't see the problem from the given syntax, have you tried to use Prints at this point to make sure everything is correct with your variables and that the logic is getting called?

I see one print being used, was that printed?


Please let me know if I may be of additional assistance.

[asmmbillah]

No, it does not even print.

[NinjaTrader_Jesse]

Hello asmmbillah,

If your print did not happen at all that would indicate that code did not get called. I would suggest to simplify what you are testing to make sure the logic gets called up to that point. You can also add other prints into your other areas where you call that code to see why it did not happen.

For what you are trying to execute it may be easier to add a specific condition and use a specific chart for testing, what I mean is to use a 10 second chart so a bar elapses quickly and then a simple condition like the following:

if(State == State.Realtime)
{
   //execute your code
}

If you only want this to execute one time you can add a variable to stop it once it was executed.

if(State == State.Realtime && myVariable == false)
{
   //execute your code
   myVaraible = true; 
}

That sets up a simple condition for testing which does not require an amount of bars or anything else other than a bar elapsing in realtime.
