What is the 'CBI' namespace/class all about? I can't for the life of me unravel the acronym.

[AnotherTrader]

TimeInForce = Cbi.TimeInForce.Opg; // Order on Open (interesting??)

Hi, r2kTrader

Thanks for posting this.

What type of order situation is the above TimeInForce option for?

Thanks

Use the following code to enumerate the controls on the ChartForm

Convenient and useful tool. Thanks for sharing, Hemlock.

[ATI user]

This is a nifty little snippet.

Did you ever have the need to "Flatten Everything". All strategies, and all open orders. Just get flat!

NinjaTrader.Gui.SuperDom.SuperDom.FlattenEverythin g();

I tested it and it seems to work ok. It killed all my strategies and got me flat on any orders that work working. I mean it took me FLAT! And fast.

Test and use at your own risk.

I have had great results with iof files per this thread

http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/vb/showthread.php?t=23712&highlight=iof

instantly flat...and I do mean instantly...in NT7 I check the real time cash value (from broker/zenfire) and flatten on drawdown or target pnl etc

I posted EcoNews

http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/vb/local_links.php?catid=1&linkid=275

There is a lot of "unsupported" stuff in the code.

[aslane]

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

[zweistein]

Very nice,

is this the version from http://www.johnthom.com/2009/12/snea...eader-for.html

that he promised on his site a while ago?

regards

Andreas
and happy coding


For the undocumented:

Here To define bitfields

[Flags]
publicenumCountries {
JPY=0x01,
CNY=0x02,
GBP=0x04,
CHF=0x08,
EUR=0x10,
USD=0x20,
NZD=0x40,
AUD=0x80,
CAD=0x100
}

and you can also define a UITypeEditor for Flags to allow multiple selection. There is some stuff out on the net.

No this is not that version, although I used part of code for retrieving data from forexfactory website. (thanks johnthom)

Excellent Roonius. Many thanks for this. Also thanks for the 'open code' as I am sure it will help many of us trying to get to grips with learning C# and how it applies to Ninja.

Thanks! I love this widget!
