Access account in chart trader

[luxurious_04]

In NT7 we have this code

ctrdrAcct = (ComboBox)ChartControl.Controls["pnlChartTrader"].Controls["ctrChartTraderControl"].Controls["cboAccount"];

Can I ask some help from someone knows hows to convert this to NT8?

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

You could see the following post for instructions on how to access the overall chart trader control, and also how to locate controls in the platform: https://ww.ninjatrader.com/support/f...44&postcount=7

The account selector has an automation id of: ChartTraderControlAccountSelector

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

Can you give a simple example on this? I want an indicator that will check the account name and positions when I plot or put it on the chart.

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

You can see the following post for an example of accessing the account from ChartTrader: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...51&postcount=2

I would suggest reviewing the other samples in that thread as there are other examples of accessing the account collections and overrides to access the other account information once you have the selected account.

I look forward to being of futher assistnace.
