newbie indicator questions

[Turtle Trader]

1) is it possible for an indicator to delete drawing objects...all current drawing objects on the chart? (how?)

2) is it possible for an indicator to cancel pending orders? (how?)

Thanks

Hi Turtle Trader,

1. Yes, you can remove objects drawn by an indicator or strategy with RemoveDrawObjects();
More info at - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...oveDrawObjects

In NT7, you can access all draw objects with - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...rawobjects.htm

2. Unfortunately not, you can cancel orders from a custom strategy, but not an indicator.

OK...

1) Then it seems it would be possible to have a simpel strategy running that would delete the pending order?

2) Is there no way to programatically delete user drawn lines in 6.5? (i.e. invoke the Remove Drawing Objects function)?

Thanks

Is it possible to post a code snippet that would cancel all pending orders?

(for newbies...)

Hi Turtle Trader,

You can cancel orders with CancelOrder()
More info at - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...ml?CancelOrder

Are you referring to orders placed within the Strategy, or placed manually outside of a strategy? Only orders placed within a strategy can be cancelled from within a strategy.

In 6.5, no, the manually drawn objects are not accessible and cannot be deleted programmatically.

I'm referring to ATM orders placed manually...I need to have them cancelled automatically on a certain price event.

If not in 6.5 will this be available in NT 7?

(by the way, when to you expect NT7 to be out of beta?)

In NT7 can manually created lines be deleted in an indicator or strategy?

Thanks

Hi Turtle Trader,

Only orders placed within a strategy can be cancelled from within a strategy. You cannot cancel order that were placed outside of the strategy, this has not changed with NT7.

Unfortunately I do not have an exact ETA on the full release of NT7.

In NT7, you can access and delete manually drawn lines - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...rawobjects.htm
