Accessing Data Box values ?

[palinuro]

Hi,

Is there any way to access the Data Box values programmatically? I want to output everything on the chart to a file, and the only other way I know of is to add file-writing code to every indicator....

thanks

Hello palinuro,

Thanks for writing in to our Support Forums!

It is not possible to do this through creating an indicator, but this would be possible to do by making a custom Add-On for the Data Box. As Add-On development involves much more effort for implementing over an indicator or a strategy, the support we may provide will be limited to the existing documentation and public information on the forums.

You can look up the educational documentation on creating an Add-On here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t_overview.htm

My colleagues Jesse and Jessica have shared information to aid in the development of an Add-On. You may view Jessica's video on using Inspect to get the Data Box's automation ID. Jesse's post is linked within which provides a sample and further information on creating an Add-On. I've provided a link below:

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