How to Find Quantity Value in Chart Trader

[DoctorPurpleApe]

Creating Custom Buttons for Chart Trader.

How do I find the Quantity that is selected for the Chart/Chart Trader?

I figured out how to find the selected account, Instrument and ATM Selector for Chart Trader. Using the same approached I can not find the quantity.

AccountSelector accountSelector;
InstrumentSelector instrumentSelector;
AtmStrategySelector ATMselector;
QuantitySelector quantitySelector;

accountSelector = Window.GetWindow(ChartControl.Parent).FindFirst("C hartTraderControlAccountSelector") as AccountSelector;
instrumentSelector = Window.GetWindow(ChartControl.Parent).FindFirst("C hartWindowInstrumentSelector") as InstrumentSelector;
ATMselector = Window.GetWindow(ChartControl.Parent).FindFirst("C hartTraderControlATMStrategySelector") as AtmStrategySelector;
Print(ATMselector.SelectedAtmStrategy.DisplayName. ToString());

quantitySelector = Window.GetWindow(ChartControl.Parent).FindFirst("C hartTraderControlQuantitySelector") as QuantitySelector;
Print(quantitySelector.ToString());

I think the code is pretty close. Not sure what to use in print to show the value of the quantity.

Or should I be using

QuantityUpDown quantitySelector

Hello DoctorPurpleApe,

You can find a sample of getting the quantity here:

Thank you for the quick response. Works like a charm.

Hi DoctorPurpleApe and Jesse,
I'm trying to achieve something similar and run into the problem that I'm unable to use the AtmStrategySelector.
I'm programming an indicator and have no problem accessing the AccountSelector and QuantityUpdDown, but the AtmStrategySelector appears as an unknown class/type. I guess I'm simply missing a using declaration, but I couldn't find out which. I've also seen AtmStrategy.AtmStrategySelector, but this also does not exist for me.

Hi Chelsea B.
Thanks for the response, it helped me solve some other issues I had, but doesn't address the main problem I've asked about.
`AtmStrategySelector` appears for me not as an existing type. I can't find it or something similar under `NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools` or anywhere else. The account or quantity selector classes are working properly in my code but none of the solutions I've found enabled me to access the atm selector. It's as if there isn't any class for it, even if I use any provided example scripts.
Shouldn't it for example show up here:
