How to access or override account & order methods inside custom indicator script?

Please provide some template or code snippets how to access account info or Override account methods in an Indicator. I can override account methods like OnAccountItemUpdate etc. while developing strategies but not in Indicators.
thanks.

Hi WiseGuy70, thanks for posting. You can create an Addon-Style Account object and use the properties and methods documented here:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ount_class.htm

I also attached a working example. To test them out, place the .cs files within Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\Indicators

Kind regards,
