Display information from order placed with Chart Trader

[cre8able]

is there a way to access the info like target, entry & stop from an order placed with chart trader? I'd like to make an indicator to use the info but don't know how to grab it if I didn't place the order with a strategy

Hello cre8able,

Thank you for your post.

You can use the Account class from AddOn to access information on Orders placed to the account selected in Chart Trader.

AddOn Account class - https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/account_class.htm

Orders - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...rs_account.htm

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

thank you Gaby

How do i get the current account in the chart trader? Not Sim101, unless that is what chart trader is using

myAccount = Account.All.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Name == "Sim101");

Hello,

Please see the forum post linked below which has an example script demonstrating how to get the account selected in the Chart Trader.

a little more help. I'm trying to get the three values shown for an open order. Stop, Target and Entry, which is order.AverageFillPrice... the only one I seem to be able to get




What do I need to change to get the other 2 values?

            foreach (Order order in myAccount.Orders)
            {
                if(order.OrderType == OrderType.Market)
                {
                Print("market  " +order.ToString() + "   " + order.AverageFillPrice);            
                }
                
                if(order.OrderType == OrderType.StopLimit)
                {
                Print("stop" + order.StopPrice);            
                }​

Also, how do I limit the information to only the open order? After the order is closed, I still get the order.AverageFillPrice.

What is the correct syntax for only "active" orders?

Hello,


If these are seperate orders, you can use:

if(order.OrderType == OrderType.StopMarket)

{

Print("stop" + order.StopPrice);

}​

and

if(order.OrderType == OrderType.Limit)

{

Print("stop" + order.LimitPrice);

}​

Or,

if(order.OrderType == OrderType.StopLimit)

{

Print("stop" + order.LimitPrice);

Print("stop" + order.StopPrice);

}​

You can add a condition to check for only working orders or orders that are not filled by adding a condition to check for order state, such as orderState.Filled or orderState.Working.
