Addon to disable enable strategy within a strategy

[tkaboris]

Hi I have a strategy that uses different strategies within a strategy that are activated by the bool.

I was thinking to code an addon from where i can quickly enable and disable strategies. Is there an example of it that you know of?

Hello tkaboris,

Thank you for your post.

There is no supported/documented way to programmatically enable/disable strategies. Strategies must be enabled by the user either in the Strategies window from a chart where the strategy is applied or from the Strategies tab of the Control Center. You may select multiple strategies on the Strategies tab while holding down the Ctrl button on your keyboard and then right-click and select "Enable" or "Disable" to enable/disable multiple strategies at once. Here is a video example:

I mean to enable disable a bool that is withing a strategy. For example, strategy is enabled in strategy tab but in addon you are able to enale or disable bools in the strategy. I think i have seen it being done.

Hello tkaboris,

Thank you for the clarification.

There is a publicly available strategy on our NinjaTrader Ecosystem website that uses toolbar buttons to toggle a bool within the strategy:

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'

Once installed, you may add the indicator to a chart by:

• Right-click your chart > Indicators... > Select the Indicator from the 'Available' list on the left > Add > OK

Here is a short video demonstration of the import process:

• Install a 3rd Party Indicator or App

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
