Buttons On Chart Trader

[rbeckmann05]

Hello, I would like to add an "Arm Long", "Arm Short", and "Arm Both" button to my chart trader that correlates with my strategy. I can easily add the boolean logic for entering, however I have no idea how to work with buttons. Any ideas on how to start going about this?

Hello rbeckmann05,

Thanks for your post.

You could use WPF Modifications to add custom buttons to Chart Trader that could be used for submitting orders or doing actions.

We have a reference sample in the help guide demonstrating adding custom buttons to Chart Trader which you could find linked below.

Here is a script from the NinjaTrader Ecosystem User App Share that demonstrates submitting orders using buttons which you might find helpful: https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...bar-buttons-2/
