Assigning Hotkeys inside of strategy

[fawzanalim]

I have buttons in my strategy. I am using System.Windows.Controls.Button to create the buttons. I have a stream deck. I wanted to tie these buttons to my stream deck somehow.

If there is no direct way to do that, then I could assign a hotkey to each button in my strategy, for example Ctrl + Shift + 1. Is it possible?

Hello fawzanalim,

Thanks for your post.

I am not familiar with using a stream deck, but I can give some insight for baking hot key functionality into your strategy.

You could consider using ChartControl.PreviewKeyDown to detect key presses, and this could be a way to incorporate hot key functionality into a strategy. I have attached an indicator that can demonstrate here.

Keep in mind, this would require having the window in focus. If you want to incorporate some key detection functionality that does not require the window be in focus, you can try something like what is done in the ChartNotes indicator. (If you are using a strategy it is also best to start timers in State.DataLoaded since this state would come after we Enable the strategy, when State.Configure does not require the strategy be enabled.)
