Indicator code snippets to get Account, Quantity, ATM from ChartTrader?

[FatCanary]

Thought I'd hijack this thread.

If I have:

private void TestSelect()
{[INDENT]accountSelector = Window.GetWindow(ChartControl.Parent).FindFirst("ChartTraderControlAccountSelector") as NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.AccountSelector;
[/INDENT][INDENT]accountSelector.SelectionChanged += (o, args) =>[/INDENT][INDENT]{[/INDENT][INDENT=2]accountSelector.SelectedAccount.AccountItemUpdate += OnAccountItemUpdate;[/INDENT][INDENT]};[/INDENT]
 
 }

How do I get the account name when the account selection changes?

Hello FatCanary,

SelectedAccount is an Account object, and you can get the name from the Name property.

I.E. Print(accountSelector.SelectedAccount.Name);

Hi Jim

Yes, I've got that, thank you.

The problem I'm having is being able to run code when the accountSelector.SelectionChanged is triggered.

Hello FatCanary,

Thanks or your reply.

In your snippet, accountSelector.SelectedAccount.AccountItemUpdate += OnAccountItemUpdate; is executed when the selection changes. Any other code you place in that code block will execute when the selection changes.

You can also subscribe a method to the SelectionChanged event, similar to how the TimerEventProcessor method is subscribed to the myTimer.Elapsed event in the Help Guide example code here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ustomevent.htm which will allow any code within the subscribed method to be processed when that selection changes.

Hi Jim

I have:

private void TestSelect()
{[INDENT]accountSelector = Window.GetWindow(ChartControl.Parent).FindFirst("C hartTraderControlAccountSelector") as NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.AccountSelector;[/INDENT][INDENT]accountSelector.SelectionChanged += (o, args) =>[/INDENT][INDENT=2]{[/INDENT][INDENT=3]accountSelector.SelectedAccount.AccountItemUpdate += OnAccountItemUpdate;[/INDENT][INDENT=2]};[/INDENT]
 
 }

And:

protected void OnAccountItemUpdate(object sender, AccountItemEventArgs e)
{[INDENT]Print("Selection changed");[/INDENT]
 
 }

But the Print statement does not appear to be executed when I change the account in ChartTrader account selector.

I now have:

private NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.AccountSelector accountSelector;

accountSelector = Window.GetWindow(ChartControl.Parent).FindFirst("C hartTraderControlAccountSelector") as NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.AccountSelector;
accountSelector.SelectionChanged += OnAccountItemUpdate;

private void OnAccountItemUpdate(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{[INDENT]Print("Changed account to: " + accountSelector.SelectedAccount.Name);[/INDENT]
 
 }

Which seems to be working fine.

Thank you for the guidance regarding the SelectionChanged event.
