Compile errors

[snoinvest]

Hi,

I'm trying to create an indiciator that places a buy and sell button at the top left of a chart when clicked would place a stop limit buy order at the high of previous candle (Buy Button) and stop limit sell order at the low of previous candle ( Sell Button) . It needs to use the selected ATM from the chart trader to determine contract amout and brackets. Below is the code I have :

using NinjaTrader.Gui;
using NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools;
using NinjaTrader.NinjaScript;
using NinjaTrader.Data;
using NinjaTrader.Cbi;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Media;

namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators
{
public class TKCandleTrader : Indicator
{
private Button buyButton;
private Button sellButton;

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
Description = "Buy/Sell Buttons with Chart Trader ATM Strategy";
Name = "TKCandleTrader";
Calculate = Calculate.OnBarClose;
IsOverlay = true;
}
else if (State == State.Configure)
{
// Create buttons
buyButton = new Button
{
Content = "Buy",
Background = Brushes.Green,
Foreground = Brushes.White,
Width = 50,
Height = 25,
Margin = new System.Windows.Thickness(5)
};

sellButton = new Button
{
Content = "Sell",
Background = Brushes.Red,
Foreground = Brushes.White,
Width = 50,
Height = 25,
Margin = new System.Windows.Thickness(5)
};

// Add buttons to the chart
ChartControl.Dispatcher.InvokeAsync(() =>
{
var stackPanel = new StackPanel
{
Orientation = Orientation.Horizontal,
VerticalAlignment = System.Windows.VerticalAlignment.Top,
HorizontalAlignment = System.Windows.HorizontalAlignment.Left
};

stackPanel.Children.Add(buyButton);
stackPanel.Children.Add(sellButton);
ChartControl.WPFContainer.Children.Add(stackPanel) ;
});

// Add event handlers
buyButton.Click += BuyButton_Click;
sellButton.Click += SellButton_Click;
}
}

private void BuyButton_Click(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
{
// Calculate stop limit price
double stopPrice = High[1] + TickSize;
double limitPrice = stopPrice;

// Place buy stop limit order using the ATM strategy from Chart Trader
string atmStrategyId = AtmStrategyCreate(OrderAction.Buy, OrderType.StopLimit, stopPrice, limitPrice, TimeInForce.Day, null, null);

if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(atmStrategyId))
{
// Handle error: ATM strategy failed to create
Print("Error: Failed to create ATM strategy for Buy order.");
}
else
{
Print("Buy order placed with ATM strategy ID: " + atmStrategyId);
}
}

private void SellButton_Click(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
{
// Calculate stop limit price
double stopPrice = Low[1] - TickSize;
double limitPrice = stopPrice;

// Place sell stop limit order using the ATM strategy from Chart Trader
string atmStrategyId = AtmStrategyCreate(OrderAction.Sell, OrderType.StopLimit, stopPrice, limitPrice, TimeInForce.Day, null, null);

if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(atmStrategyId))
{
// Handle error: ATM strategy failed to create
Print("Error: Failed to create ATM strategy for Sell order.");
}
else
{
Print("Sell order placed with ATM strategy ID: " + atmStrategyId);
}
}
}
}

I've attached the compile errors that I'm getting. What can i do to fix these please?

Hello snoinvest,

Thank you for your post.

Atm Strategy methods like AtmStrategyCreate() can only be used in strategy scripts. If you wanted to use the Add On approach, you could use StartAtmStrategy() instead.

As the error suggests, ChartControl does not have a definition for WPFContainer. If you are trying to create custom order buttons on your chart I suggest looking at this example which demonstrates:
