Ninjatrader 8

[alejandro888]

Hi there,

I want to create an indicator, alert or strategy, where I can play a sound or visible message when I have X number of open positions, (actually I prefer to create an indicator)

what could be a good starting point?

I tried using the strategy builder similar to https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...-check?t=93225 but with no luck (idk how to run a strategy when in live trading lol)



#################################
#UPDATE 1

I managed to create a strategy and it is working with PositionAccount,
now...

How can I re-enable automatic the Strategy after close all my positions instead of enabling it manually?

does NinjaTrader 8 allow custom buttons creations similar to "Buy Mkt", "Close" ?

I have background programing in c#, but I am unfamiliar with the ninja traders 8 class or documentation

Regards,
Alejandro

Hello Alejandro,

When using an indicator the Addon approach allows you to add an event handler method to the Account.PositionUpdate event.

Below is a link to the help guide.

The AddOn Framework NinjaScript Basic example script demonstrates this.

NinjaScript Strategies cannot be enabled with code.

Below is a link to an example strategy that adds buttons that submit orders.
