Add ons on Chart trader + strategy

[josephktcheung]

Hi,

I'd like to know if this can be done using NT8's add-on development.

Basically I want to add a button in chart trader to enable / disable certain strategy directly instead of clicking "strategies" icon -> check / uncheck "enabled" checkbox. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Joseph

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

You can certainly modify windows using an addon, so adding items to the chart trader would be possible.

Regarding enable and disable, these are actually not exposed methods of a strategy currently. This is currently on developments list of items to re review in post beta but currently there are no NinjaScript documented ways to do this.For this, I would not be able to provide an answer at this time because the methods needed do not currently exist.

For addon development and getting started I would suggest reviewing the following item as it demonstrates most concepts for addons: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...d=9&linkid=763

I look forward to being of further assistance.
