Mouse input price data to for strategy?

[suraj]

For a Strategy I want to be able to pick price action high and low, using mouse and then use that price data to calculate Entry, stop and target for a trade. The strategy when armed only enters one trade and then should disable when either stop or target is hit

thanks,
suraj

Hello Suraj,

Thank you for your post.

Consider using the OnMouseDown method along with the ChartControl object to detect when the cursor is clicked.
Then, the GetValueByY method can be used to retrieve the price value from the corresponding data point.

Here are a couple of posts with example scripts that might be helpful:

• NT8 OnMouseDown Example
• Getting Price Data on Chart at Cursor

To disable the strategy, there is the CloseStrategy method:

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.
