howto disable order entry with Add On

[Klaus Hengher]

is it possible to develop an NT8 addon which can prevent the entry of new entry orders if the daily profit limit or loss limit is reached. All entries from Strategy, ChartTrader, DOM ... should be rejected

Hello Klaus Hengher,
Thanks for your post.

There is not a supported way to prevent manual order submissions through NinjaScript, but you can add logic to a NinjaScript strategy so that strategy will cease firing orders after the Account's realized PnL reaches a certain point.

This can be done by checking the PnL, and then setting a bool that controls your trading logic so the trades no longer fire.

You can see the Unrealized PnL on the account with OnAccountItemUpdate(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...itemupdate.htm

Please see the following forum post for some examples of how to accomplish this.

Within strategy I know how to do this, but I need this functionality for all order to specified account ( manual or automatic) , disable trading if daily stop loss or profit target for all trades is hit.
Any idea how to implement this functionality?
