Using indicator to send orders

[fredericlebre]

Hi,

I created an indicator with menu and sub menu.
I'd like to send orders clicking on submenu option, but on bar update void, it doesn't seemsto be avoid (EnterLong is not accepted) Do i have to use this indicator with global variable and create a strategy using it, or is there a way to send orders with an indicator ?

Other question please, is it possible to hide sub window indicator (not with menu option but with code) on chart like on my screenshot ?

Thanks for your answers.

Or you can hook the chart trader buttons and programmatically click them etc

How to declare a variable in an indicator and use it on a strategy ?

[NinjaTrader_BrandonH]

Hello fredericlebre,

Thank you for your post.

Strategies are able to use variables that are exposed by an indicator. If you would like to have a variable accessible from an indicator, you will need to make a public variable, like the properties in the SampleBoolSeries example script below, and access the private variable from there.

Please see the reference sample source code for the SampleBoolSeries indicator which demonstrates this for the Series named BullIndication and BearIndication. These variables are declared publicly alongside the input properties except with [Browsable(false)] and [XmlIgnore] to prevent the public variable from listing as a parameter.
