Strategy + ChartTrader

[dimkdimk]

Hi,

I have running strategy on a chart. The strategy operates with Unmanaged orders. All orders are managed by my code and I will be able to make apropriate changes even if some orders come "outside" of the stategy.

1. Can I somehow enable ChartTrader on the same chart, right on the same strategy. ( Currently, all menus and Toolstrip buttons are greyed out )

2. Does OnOrderUpdate receive only orders initiated by releted strategy or ALL order updates initiated by any strategy/actions from other places ?

P.S. To prove that p.1 is possible I open another chart with the same instrument and enable ChartTrader there. I am able to achieve all that I want from this second chart(ChartTrader operated) and strategy handles all my "external" changes very nicely.

NT guys: Can you please give me any undocumented hint on how to enable ChartTrader from the strategy script on the same chart where strategy is running. Just a little tip, no strings attached.

P.P.S. I know all this is not supported but I can't see any sense in developing my own charttrader instead of enabling of existing one. Especially, if the existing one is completely satisfying my needs.

1. Unfortunately this is not supported. That is why the buttons are greyed out.

2. OnOrderUpdate() only receives events for orders of that particular strategy instance.

Unfortunately there is nothing I can offer you on how to code the Chart Trader to be on as even I do not know how to do this.
