Strategy not picking up OnRender() method

[daigo1]

I am trying to make a Strategy that enters a long order every time I click on a price:

        private double lastValue;

        protected override void OnRender(ChartControl chartControl, ChartScale chartScale)
        {
            Point cursorPoint = chartControl.MouseDownPoint;

            if (chartScale.GetValueByYWpf(cursorPoint.Y) != lastValue)
            {
                Print(String.Format("Mouse clicked at price {0}", chartScale.GetValueByYWpf(cursorPoint.Y)));
                EnterLongStopMarket(lastValue, "long"+CurrentBar.ToString());
            }

            lastValue = chartScale.GetValueByYWpf(cursorPoint.Y);
        }

But it doesn't seem to pick up any clicks from the mouse, even though on an Indicator it does (but I can't use an Indicator since I can't place orders on them).

Welcome to the forums daigo1!

The OnRender code works, but you are not checking for any mouse clicks before submitting the order. When I test, an order is submitted immediately and then the strategy disables because of an order being submitted to an invalid price.

I have attached an example strategy that can demonstrate using mouse clicks to submit orders.

We look forward to assisting.

Perfect Jim, this works beautifully for my purposes. Thanks so much!
