Attach order placed by Add-On to any indicator on chart programmatically

[music_p13]

Hello,

I have following steps:
1 - placing order from add-on - works.
2 - can find and get properties of any indicator on any chart from add-on - works.
3 - I would like to attach target limit order to specific 3rd party indicator that is on the chart, while that order was placed from custom add-on. I am able to attach that order to this custom indicator manually, however, would like to do if programmatically (after certain delay once this order is placed - change it to attach to indicator).

Is it possible even if unsupported?

Thanks

Hello music_p13,

Thanks for your post.

You would need to be able to actively read the indicator's plot value after you found the chart and indicator plot that you want to follow.

You could try accessing the Values collection of found indicators.

See the help guide documentation for more information:
Indicators Collection: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...indicators.htm
Values: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nt8/values.htm

Also, see the code sample below which may help get you started. The code below demonstrates looping through the indicator collection.

else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
    foreach (var window in NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.AllWindows)
    {
        // check if the found window is a Chart window, if not continue looking
        if (!(window is NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.Chart)) continue;

        window.Dispatcher.InvokeAsync(new Action(() =>
        {
            // try to cast as a Chart, if it fails it will be null
            var foundChart = window as NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.Chart;

            // make sure we found a chart
            if (foundChart == null) return;

            // make sure the found chart is the owner window
            if (foundChart != this.Owner as NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.Chart) return;

            // Instantiate indicator collection
            ChartObjectCollection<NinjaTrader.Gui.NinjaScript. IndicatorRenderBase>  indicatorCollection = foundChart.ActiveChartControl.Indicators;

             // Loop through indicators in collection
             foreach (Indicator indi in indicatorCollection)
                  Print(indi.Name);

         }));

     }
}
