Manual Buy/Sell order as a part of strategy?

[zoharcho]

Hello,

I want to create the ability to close (manually) a position that a strategy opened, but in such a way that the order will be transmitted as part of the strategy itself and not be foreign (not related) order.

Is there any "button" that I can display, so when pressed I can catch it, and link it to a sell order for example? (the sell order is part of the strategy code).

I want to do it without enabling and disabling the strategy.

Is there a GUI that I can get input from the user, and use it within the strategy (without enabling/disabling the strategy)?

Much appreciate the help, you are the best.

Hello zoharcho,

Thanks for your post.

Please review the strategy Long short toolbar buttons. This strategy will add buttons to the chart and from the code, you can see how to tie an order action to the button click. Because this is within the strategy it will not disable and will stay in sync.


This strategy is publicly available on our NinjaTrader Ecosystem website:

• https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...bar-buttons-2/

Here is a basic guideline of how to import NinjaScript add-ons in NinjaTrader 8:

Note — To import NinjaScripts you will need the original .zip file.

To Import:

1. Download the NinjaScripts to your desktop, keep them in the compressed .zip file.
2. From the Control Center window select the menu Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-on...
3. Select the downloaded .zip file
4. NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.

Critical - Specifically for some NinjaScripts, it will prompt that you are running newer versions of @SMA, @EMA, etc. and ask if you want to replace, press 'No'

Great! that's exactly what I had in mind, thanks!

I would like to request the ability to simple add manual Close or Open Buttons to a Strategy from within the Strategy Builder. Been talking about this for 2 years. It would be a great tool and with new programmers creating trading strategies would give them a manual OUT when they are in a position and wish to have a emergency exit plan while keeping strategy enabled
