Enable, Disable strategy from addon

[BartMan]

I have an addon I built with with a better coder than I. I have 7 accounts I am trading with multiple futures contracts

I would like to disable or enable the strategy on multiple charts manually or via script. I like to trade between 8:00 - 3:45 eastern. I want to disable most strategies. My strategy can read the addon values; but I want the one click OFF button one Click ON Button If Janet Yellen is about to speak I use the Control Center enable, Disable.

I can set up the tools to only trade if my Signals are selected but If I could replicate the Strategy off Enable checkbox I have several use cases for this

There are at least two cases - the first case is you click your button on the AddOn, and the strategies (because they are in communication with the AddOn) go flat and don't take any more trades until you "enable" them again, but they're still technically running. The second case is you disable them, and they're no longer running.

QuantKey_Bruce, you are over the target. I already have the code to not take a trade. But I have real time DB logging and other code and I wish to disable vs not trade on a signal.

Use CloseStrategy(); https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...sestrategy.htm

Hello BartMan,

Thanks for your post.

There are no methods or functions available to enable a strategy from code. Strategies are designed so that they must be manually enabled.

To disable a strategy through code you could use the CloseStrategy() method as QuantKey_Bruce noted. The CloseStrategy() method cancels all working orders, closes any existing positions, and finally disables the strategy.
