Get Event for Flatten Everything

[Pole123]

How can I run a function when the flatten everything / flatten all / flatten button is pressed on an account? Possibly run it before the order gets sent, or another option: how can I recognise that the order is a flatten order and not a normal close order

Hello Pole123,

Do you have other tools running on the account in question? If so the other tools would need to incorporate some sort of logic to close any trades it has open and then shut down. Mosts tools that will do that and would keep track of that by knowing what orders it placed and checking that there is a position when shutting down. If you are using only the addon approach you can call flatenall https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ghtsub=flatten

No, I need to know when the user manually clicks the flatten button

Hello Pole123,

If a user manually flattens the account your scripts won't specifically know about that. Strategies will close their positions but any other tools being used on the account will still be active, you need to disable any tools being used before doing manual actions like flatting.
