AFTERRender event

[Airwave]

Hi all,

I'm taking a screenshot after an order is proceed and calling ForceRefresh();
Then I'm watching OnRender event. This is also been touched but unfortunetely my screenshot is still to early.
Think I need a way to create my screenshot ATERRender event.
Is there any posibility?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Airwave, thanks for posting.

You could set a boolean variable to false before the order is submitted, wait for OnRender to pass once and set it to true in OnRender then once that becomes true take the screenshot. You could also take the screenshot on the next bar where the Order object is State.Accepted or Working then take the screenshot on the next bar. If none of these ideas resolve, I will need to see a reduced test script from you to see the issue.

Kind regards,

Hello,

thats exactly how I do it.
Seems to be as if the Variable in OnRender is set a bit to early. Thats why I asked for "After"OnRender.

Or what do you mean with "wait for Render to pass once". Maybe I should wait for second OnRender run through and not already the my variable to true in the first run through?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Airwave, thanks for your reply.

You should monitor the order in OnOrderUpdate if you are not already. The order should be rendered to the chart once the order has reached State.Accepted or State.Working. If you are already doing this, please share a reduced code example so I can test on my end.

Kind regards,

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your answer.
I'm trying to change a bit of my code.

Here I came to a new question:

You wrote: "You should monitor the order in OnOrderUpdate if you are not already. "

Can you tell me how I can identify and track the same order in OnOrderUpdate from each time OnOrderUpdate is called. Tryed the the OrderI, but this is changeing?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Airwave,

I have attached an example that takes a screenshot from OnRender after we signal that an order is accepted/working from OnOrderUpdate when it would be present on the chart. This is set up for an indicator but you may override OnOrderUpdate for strategy level order update events.

OnOrderUpdate - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...rderupdate.htm

Please let us know if you have issues testing this script or taking this approach.

Hu Jim,

thank you. Problem was I used:

protected override void OnOrderUpdate(Order order, double limitPrice, double stopPrice, int quantity, int filled, double averageFillPrice, OrderState orderState, DateTime time, ErrorCode error, string comment)
{
}

With the account.OrderUpdate it's working perfectly.


Unfortunetely following is always "null":

// Find our Sim101 account
lock (Account.All)
account = Account.All.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Name == AccountName);

I have the chance to select this manually in the properties but would like to fill this by default also with SIM101.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi AirWave,

The Account documentation page has an example on initializing the account as the Sim101:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/?account_class.htm

Or use the Account selector property to initialize the Account object in State.Configure:
[TypeConverter(typeof(NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Accou ntNameConverter))]
public string AccountName { get; set; }

Or use the Account selector property to initialize the Account object in State.Configure:
[TypeConverter(typeof(NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Accou ntNameConverter))]
public string AccountName { get; set; }

Thats exactly I've added on top of the class

public class mystrategy: Strategy
{
[TypeConverter(typeof(NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Accou ntNameConverter))]
public string AccountName { get; set; }
.
.
.
.

But in StateConfigure it's still always null:

if (State == State.Configure)
{

// Find our Sim101 account
lock (Account.All)
account = Account.All.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Name == AccountName);

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi Airwave, thanks for your reply.

That can be fixed by checking objects for null:

else if (State == State.Configure)
{
if(AccountName != null)
{
lock (Account.All)
myAccount = Account.All.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Name == AccountName);
}

if (myAccount != null)
{
myAccount.ExecutionUpdate += OnExecutionUpdate;
}
}
else if (State == State.Terminated)
{
if (myAccount != null)
myAccount.ExecutionUpdate -= OnExecutionUpdate;
}

Hi Chris,

sorry the question was a bit different. My issues answer was just was to define
AccountName = "Sim101";
in SetDefaults
:-)

Thanks
