indicator that can initiate a trade from a chart marker that is created by...

[billywantstoknow]

Hello where would one start to create, guessing a indicator maybe a strategy??
What I would like to happen be able to do is tell the indicator/straqtegy that "when such and such" creates a chart marker--arrow,dot,diamond, etc... to initiate a trade.
Is this possible? Has anyone experimented or better yet developed such?

Thanks in advance

Hello billywantstoknow,

You would need to loop through the DrawObjects collection. You would also need some kind of logic to remember which objects have already had orders trigger for (or only trigger on the current bar in real-time).

Below is a public link to the help guide on the DrawObjects collection.

Hi Chelsea , Thank you for the links and info, unfortunately I am not a coder which does turn my smile upside down to a frown. do you happen to know of anyone that would be capable of doing this or has done this already? Can you do it?
TIA

Strategy that calls an Indicator for Signals

It is common to have a strategy call an indicator and use the signals from the indicator to make trades based on if-then tests (logical).


I am attaching an example set of an indicator and a strategy that calls the indicator, written by Alan P, one of the NT support team members.
