attaching order to an indicator that was placed by 3rd party add-on

[music_p13]

Hello,

I am able to manually attach existing target order to any indicator plot.

I would like to be able to programmatically attach existing order to an indicator that is currently loaded on specific chart. Assuming that specific indicator is loaded, I need to perform following:

1. Identify correct chart (there are articles on how to do it)
2. Find specific indicator instance on that chart.
3. Attach order to that specific indicator plot - possibly with few ticks offset, and also indicate boolean value whether to "move towards last price only".
4. Then in case I need - how to uncheck "Enabled" once it is already attached - in order to "Detach" that order from indicator?

The reason for me to go "Extra Mile" is because order is placed by 3rd party add-on, and once that order is placed - I want to programmatically adjust it (by finding order from Account object, etc..).

Could you please guide or provide sample code on how to accomplish all these items?

Thanks

Hello music_p13,

Thanks for your post.

There are no supported or documented means for identifying an external indicator on a chart due to synchronicity. Also, there are no supported means for being able to identify an external indicator's plot name. You could consider looping through ChartControl.Indicators and accessing Values[ ][ ] of that found indicator.

You could also consider adding the indicator to which you want to attach the order within your own custom indicator and use Account.Change() to move a specified order object to the indicator's plot.

See the help guide documentation below for more information.

ChartControl.Indicators: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...indicators.htm
Values: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nt8/values.htm
