Order visualization

[Victor_Zelenyi]

Hi, is there a way to visualize orders on chart? (by using line, arrow, etc)
I can see them on orders table but i would like to see them on chart.

I can see order on chart, but after applying my strategy they disappear.
What to do to see orders with applied strategy?

Could someone from ninjatrader support help me with this one?

Hello Victor_Zelenyi,

Thank you for your post.

A chart with a strategy applied will only show trades generated by the strategy (both historical and real-time), and if you have a different chart open to the same instrument with no strategy applied to that second chart, you should not see the strategy's trades on this chart, but instead any trades you placed manually on that instrument.

If you're wanting the see the orders the strategy places on on the chart while the strategy is enabled, you can enable your strategy and then enable Chart Trader - this will show you any active orders the strategy places on your chart.

You can enable Chart Trader either from the Chart Trader icon in the chart's menu bar, or by right clicking within the chart > Properties > change the Chart Trader option to 'Chart Trader'.

Here's a link that goes over enabling Chart Trader:

Here's some additional information on working with automated strategies that goes over what is shown on the chart when a strategy is enabled:

Thank you.
Also is there a way to show stop loss and take profit lines on chart when order is placed automatically or do I need to draw them myself using lines from drawing tool?

Hello Victor,

Thank you for your reply.

If you have Chart Trader open on your chart and your strategy utilizes an ATM, you should be able to see the stop loss and profit target flags the same as if you had placed an order with an ATM manually using Chart Trader - this behavior is automatic.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
