AddOn inside Chart Trader area issues

[YETI_OnTheMarket]

Hello.
I've created an AddOn according to the guide from https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...development_ov erview.htm
Just for testing purposes, with only one custom button under the Chart Trader section.
The button click method changes one public property in AddOn class ( which determines the status ON/OF and background color of the button) and also writes to the Output window the current value of that boolean property. (screen attached)

When imported it to NT8 I faced some issues with it.

1. the button works only in the one/the latest open chart window (the click method is never called from previously opened windows). Any idea why it happens?
2. the "status" ON/OFF of the button is shared across all the tabs in one window (seems reasonable, according to the doc, a new addon instance is created per every window). But is it possible to keep a separate "status" per tab like for "Instrument" control? I noticed that all other controls in Chart Trader like quantity, ATM strategy, and Account have the same behavior (change in one tab affects all of them except for "Instrument").
3. How I can access any Addon public property (eg. sets by a button click) from strategies/indicators applied to different tabs in the chart window?

I'd appreciate any help.
Cheers
Yeti

Hello YETI_OnTheMarket,

Thanks for your post.

The button should be separate between each chart if you are adding a button to each Chart Trader that you want to use. This means prints would appear in the Output window for the active Chart Trader window that the button is clicked on.

Below is a link to an example of an indicator that add buttons to charts and Chart Trader.

As well as a link to an example script that places orders on a button click, where you could add custom logic to decide if the order is actually submitted.
