Working With Chart Buttons

[daven]

I downloaded a sample strategy from the forum which demonstrates how to create a chart button, and then depending on whether it is pressed or not, do something in the code.
I tested it, (compiled and worked fine), then I did my best to use it to create two buttons, one to suppress the execution of longs, and one to suppress the execution of shorts.

The code compiles without errors, and works with one problem. Of the two buttons, only one changes it's value when pressed, and when it does, it changes the value of both buttons. So one button doesn't work, and the other button changes the state of both buttons.

I'm uploading both strategies, the orginal called "Chart Buttons", and my modified strategy called, "STPOTradeWithButtons".

I'm sure I have some weird logic error but since I don't really know much about the ToolStripButton function and can't find any documentation on it in the help documentation, perhaps you can point me to a correction for this?

Thanks

Hello daven,

Thank you for your post.

Change Line 169 to the following:

tsbtn2Short.Click += new EventHandler(tsbtn2Short_Click);

You still had tsbtn1Long.Click in place.

I really appreciate the second set of eyes and intellect finding my bonehead mistake.
That fixed it, works great now.
Thanks
