This is an experimental indicator that can enter and exit live positions. Use entirely at your own risk and with extreme caution! You have been warned, so don't blame me! I will not accept liability for anything!
By now most of you probably have figured out my love for floating windows.
This is a little window with a few buttons that allows you to enter and exit trades.
Most stuff is pretty self-explanatory. The only thing worth mentioning is the Close button, which will first cancel all orders for the selected Instrument-Account combination and then close any open position for the selected Instrument-Account combination. Edit: Is now default NT behaviour when there is an open position, if flat it will cancel all working orders for that Instrument-Account combination.
Account, Instrument and Quantity are bootstrapped from ChartTrader, so if you want to change them, you will have to do it there. Edit: Now has dropdowns that always have the same value selected as ChartTrader, that means no matter where you change it the other one will also reflect that change. For that reason vvMiniTradePanel will enable ChartTrader when it starts up. You can hide, disable, show or enable it later. ChartTrader has to stay enabled, a warning will be shown if it is disabled. The Account can also be set manually, however, Quantity and Instrument will still be bootstrapped from ChartTrader.
In terms of size, location and some other settings it is quite configurable.
In order to use the advanced buttons (Lim or Stop +Offset buttons) the AT Interface has to be enabled (ControlCenter ->File ->AT Interface)!
Please only download if you understand the risks of using such an indicator and accept that you will use it entirely at your own risk!

As the name suggests, this little indicator can save a screenshot of a chart (the chart the indicator is applied to) to a user selected folder. It can also upload the screenshot to https://www.bmcharts.com/ and copy the link to the clipboard.
And it can even post to BMT.
It works with a little button on the chart(see picture), a button on the toolbar or with the hotkey Alt+P (this can be changed in line 160 of the code).
There are only two parameters to be entered:
the path to the folder NT shall save the screenshots to, default is C:\NTScreenshots and an option to either use the button or the hotkey.
The indicator can easily be applied to many charts without having to fear performance issues.
Changelog
Changelog archive can be found in the thread post#1

December 29 2012: v2.5
Fixed a bug where window is not fitted on the screenshot.
January 1 2013: v2.6
Major update. Added a setting "Post". When you take a screenshot it opens a dialog where you have to specify the thread id and can add text. The screenshot will be taken right away, not when you press "Post". When you press "Post" it will be posted directly to BMT. For this to work you will have to enter your API key in the indicator settings dialog. It also has a checkbox so you can even select to post text without a screenshot.
January 1 2013: v2.7
Added the option to enter a default thread id. This is purely optional, if left blank it will show the same behaviour as before. If a default thread id is specified, it also can be overwritten manually when you make a post in case you want to post to a different thread than the default.
January 1 2013: v2.8
Multi-line posts now working.
January 2 2013: v2.9

Probably has been done before...but anyways:
This indicator can toggle the grid line color to transparent (invisible) and back.
I made it switch colors so the price intervals stay the same as opposed to switching off the gridlines completely.
Toggling is done via toolbar button.
User settings allow to select horizontal, vertical or both gridlines.

This is an experimental indicator that can enter and exit live positions. Use entirely at your own risk and with extreme caution! You have been warned, so don't blame me! I will not accept liability for anything!
This indicator can enter a position with a market order when price crosses a selected line.
It can also exit a position on a second line.
These operations have NO OCO LOGIC, so when one is executed the other one will remain armed.
The account can be set manually or the account set in ChatTrader will be used.
For this indicator to work correctly you must not disable the ChartTrader! Hiding the ChartTrader is no problem.
All logic is held locally, so if you lose connection, it can and will not execute. So never use this without a second "backup stop" held at the exchange or broker! Otherwise you will have a naked position on disconnect!
An armed buy line will show up as green, a sell line as red and a stop line as magenta. They are also labeled. Once they become inactive (either executed or expired) they will change back color to their original color before they have been armed.
Lines expire when the line ends in the past.
The buttons also change color on arm/disarm.
To arm a line:
1. select the line
2. press either the "Mkt" or the "Stp" button on the toolbar
To disarm a line:
Either (while no line is selected) press the "Mkt" or the "Stp" button on the toolbar, depending on which you want to disarm.
Or delete the line.
To switch the armed line:
1. Disarm the old line.
2. Arm the new line.
Armed lines can be manipulated just as normal lines.
Please only download if you understand the risks of using such an indicator and accept that you will use it entirely at your own risk!
Please also note that this is version 1.0 and not extensively tested yet!

Updated the strapping to ChartTrader.
Now has possibility to Buy/Sell Market, @Ask or @Bid.

December 10th, 2018 01:39 AM avall38486 Brilliant is not enough, genius may be more appropriate. Thank a million.
Would it work on an indicator ? ie in the lower panel, if the indicator crosses the trend line will it still trigger a t
rade ?
November 7th, 2018 06:50 AM romus Brilliant!
February 14th, 2016 07:55 AM mkoning Thanks vvhg
January 8th, 2015 10:46 AM Malthus Thanks. It would be perfect if it could send a market order when price "touches" the line instead of crossing it.
May 19th, 2015 01:11 PM abdunbar thanks, looking for example of an indicator opening a separate window.
February 28th, 2014 09:37 AM wxsim1 superb indicator! now hopefully it can be implemented with account groups in the near future
