AtmStrategySelector in indicator

[martyn73]

I would like to add a strategy selector on a custom chart panel that I have created. I see there is an AtmStrategySelector in the AddOn base. But that does not work when calling it from an indicator. Is there a way to do this within an indicator?

Can somebody from NT respond to my question? Thanks!

Hello martyn73,

Apologies for the delay. I wrote up a response and failed to send it out.

This would not be a property that could be added to indicators parameters, but it may be possible to add this control to the WPF elements of a chart using the Addon approach.

Below is a link to an example that uses the Atm Strategy Selector.

And a link to example indicators that modify WPF elements.

Thanks for the example. But my solution requires direct access to the ATM strategies without using a separate AddOn window. Is there a way to get the list of Atm strategies so I can add them to my own control?

Hello martyn73,

The AtmStrategySelector automatically populates the list of Atm Strategies.

Anything outside of this would require custom C# and would be outside of what is supported by NinjaTrader Support.

AtmStrategy templates are located in Documents\NinjaTrader 8\templates\AtmStrategy. In your custom c# code one idea might be listing the file contents of this folder.

Thank you for the guidance. I have created my own ComboBox with the Atm strategies listed. Ideally it would also include the "Custom" value option that pops up the Custom Strategy Parameters window. Is there a way for me to call that?

Hello martyn73,

I am not aware of a way of creating that without using an AtmStrategySelector object.
