submit orders from a custom class methods

[savekad]

how can i call EnterLong() from a custom class method?

i basically want to code a button that enters into a position when i click it using the Click even.

Hello savekad,

Custom classes are something that we cannot support, but with that said you may view the following strategy that creates a Long and Short button button that you may use as a reference.

To Import
1. Download the file to your desktop
2. From the Control Center window select the menu File > Utilities > Import NinjaScript
3. Select the downloaded file

thanks for the idea but i need a new form that is now already a live object like the tool strip so i use a separate class for it.

can you please reference me to a sample, any sample, that uses ninja methods from an external class object?

Hello savekad,
Unfortunatley we do not have a sample code in these lines however you can try something like below

private class InnerClass
{
	Strategy s;
	public InnerClass(Strategy s)
	{
		this.s = s;
	}
	
	public void GoLong()
	{
		s.EnterLong();
	}
	
}

and you can call the class from your strategy as

InnerClass ic = new InnerClass(this);
ic.GoLong();

    public void GoLong()
    {
        s.EnterLong(); [COLOR=Red][B]// unknown to InnerClass[/B][/COLOR]
    }
    
}

and you can call the class from your strategy as

InnerClass ic = new InnerClass(this);
ic.GoLong();

the thing is that EnterLong() is an unknown method to my custom class...

Hello savekad,
Please make sure you have added proper references if you have appended the class in a separate file.

import NinjaTrader.Strategy;

is 'import' part of C#? i never ran into it.

if you meant 'using' then it shouldn't be necessary because the custom class is on the same cs file as the strategy.

any other idea?

Hello savekad,
My apologies. Yes, it will be using and not import.

I have attached a sample code which further demonstrates the scenario.
