Strategy Interacting With AddOn to Get Last OHLC of Ticker

[scoobydoodles]

Does anyone have any references or sample snippets that show how a strategy could make a call to an AddOn to get the latest OHLC based on a symbol/ticker?

The picture in my head is the strategy makes a function call

MyCustomAddOn.GetLatestOHLC(arbitrarySymbol)

and gets the last bar or a double from a given ISeries.

The AddOn documentation treats development from an AddOn-first approach, but since I'm thinking of it as a helper component for my strategy, I've yet to come across documentation that clarifies how they can interact, handling the namespacing, etc.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated

Hello scoobydoodles,

You can use a BarsRequest to start a subscription for an instrument (to start data streaming).

https://developer.ninjatrader.com/docs/desktop/barsrequest

Then either continue using the bars request or use the Instrument.MarketData.Last / .Ask / .Bid.

If you are trying to open an addon window and access properties or methods, see the example below.
