Get ChartTrader ATM strategy name string from indicator

[seahn]

I would like to retrieve the current selected ATM Strategy name string in the ChartTrader combobox from an indicator. I am able to use the code below to get the order qty but it does not work with the ATM strategy.

Grid ctGrid = ((chartTrader.FindFirst("ChartWindowChartTraderControl") as ChartTrader).Content as System.Windows.Controls.Grid).Children[1] as System.Windows.Controls.Grid;
TextBox tboQuantity = ctGrid.FindFirst("ChartTraderControlQuantityEdit") as TextBox;
quantity = Int32.Parse(tboQuantity.Text, NumberStyles.AllowThousands);

// FOLLOWING DOES NOT WORK
Grid ct2Grid = ((chartTrader.FindFirst("ChartWindowChartTraderControl") as ChartTrader).Content    as System.Windows.Controls.Grid).Children[2] as System.Windows.Controls.Grid;
ComboBox cboStrategy = ct2Grid.FindFirst("ChartTraderControlATMStrategySelector") as ComboBox;
strategy = cboStrategy.SelectedItem.ToString();

It returns the following strategy = "name='AtmStrategy' id=-1" no matter what the actual strategy name string is. Actually it does return the correct string when the "None" selection is made.

I think it does not work because the items in the ATM strategy combobox are not simple text but some undocumented objects for the "i" and "remove" etc. Can you please provide an example of retrieving the ATM Strategy name from the combobox or using any other method available to do it.

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

I had previously commented on this topic in this thread: http://ww.ninjatrader.com/support/fo...44&postcount=7

You are correct, the object and property used would be custom rather than the SelectedValue.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Hello MarceloF,

Yes, that would be possible and would be nearly identical to the chart trader sample:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/showpost.php?p=472644&postcount=7

The ID is SuperDOMControlATMStrategySelector.

What context are you trying to access this from? Is this an indicator or addon? Where would this information be needed?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Indicator

Thanks Jesse

Hello MarceloF,

Would this be an indicator in a chart or applied directly to the dom?

From a chart, you would need to use the Globals.AllWindows collection and find the dom you wanted to target.

From the indicator applied to the dom, you could use the Parent property just like you would in the ChartTrader example.

Can you clarify what specific indicator application you wanted? With more specific details I can provide more specific direction.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
