Strategy ON/OFF with Button

[designer01]

I have a strategy I created in NinjaTrader script that I would like to implement or import into a button strategy so I can turn it ON/OFF via the button on the chart. Could I get some guidance how to achieve this? Any links to code samples? Thank you.

Hello designer01,

Thanks for your post.

There are no documented or supported methods or functions available for enabling/disabling a custom strategy through NinjaScript.

NinjaScript strategies must be manually enabled as this is how they were created to function.

That said, you could view the reference sample on this help guide page demonstrating creating custom WPF buttons: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ui)-modifi.htm

This forum thread will be open for other community members to share their insights on unsupported code that might accomplish this.

Hi,

Very common notion, very easy to find a solution. Set up a button that controls a bool and put your strategy within a check for that bool

This is an incredible forum post that definitely contains a sample script for what you're trying to accomplish:
