Question regarding best way to accomplish

[tackaway]

Hello!

I've been looking to switch over to NT due to the ability to develop and customize my own plan. I have looked in a few places, however I can't seem to get/find a solid answer for an idea I want to implement. Ideally, I want to add a button to the chart where when I press it, it creates 2 stop limit orders (With specific custom ATM Strategy) at a specified price defined within the code. I tried to follow some videos and such that do similar things, however the price limit would update along with the current price. Can anyone tell me if this is even a possible thing, and if so, can I get pointed in the right direction on maybe similar projects/help guides as I have not been able to find this.

here check this out OCO button will do that override the order type to stop limit - you got to be pretty ok at basic development in c#

Hello tackaway,

Thank you for writing in.

The following reference sample demonstrates different kinds of buttons that you could add to a chart:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/creating-chart-wpf-(ui)-modifi.htm

WIth that sample in mind, you could add logic into the button click event that submits the orders you have described. This example from our free User App Share demonstrates the use of buttons that submit orders under certain conditions:

For orders generated by a strategy, you can tie them to an ATM strategy using the ATM strategy methods. We also have an overview of using ATM strategies in NinjaScript. I have linked both sections in the help guide below:

• https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...gy_methods.htm

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
