I found how to make enable chart trade while running a strategy on the chart. I put this code in the OnBarUpdate method:
This code opens the chart trader panel and allows you to place orders and shows the current pnl. However it does not enable to context menu order placement options or the on-chart order and avg price markers. Any idea how that can be enabled as well?
I got around the whole thing by running an indicator that passed order variables to a strategy that was called from within the indicator and that also invoked an ATM strategy for handling stops and targets. That way all the Chart Trader, menu order placement and on chart order placement was available. It also allowed me to
drag the stops and targets and still have the ATM manage them. I created new buttons on the Chart Trader to set stop limit orders for range bars.
You might get some help from the guys in these threads....

Which indicator do you have that will pass order variables to a strategy that is called from within it and which also invokes an ATM strategy for handling stops and targets ? I attempted to use the TradersInsight indicator (one of Gomi's Ladder derivatives) to do Order placement some time ago; I can explore that again.

What about the TMFTGuidedStrategy strategy codes ? Also, could you suggest a name for the indicator, or better still, the complete codes of the indicator.

You have to have a place to receive all the pieces of information that the indicator sent.
You can name the indicator anything you want. The strategy has to be named the same thing that you called it in the indicator.
I am NOT a programmer. I am NOT qualified to write strategies for people. I have written simple indicators because I don't believe they could cause a trader serious problems. However, writing something that can generate actual orders is pressure I don't need. (Did I mention the heart attack....)
@bukkan, @BigMike and others on this site have in depth knowledge in this area. I respectfully ask that you contact someone with more experience than me for strategies .
We all have lofty goals... mine is to stay awake the entire trading day ...
I'm just a simple man trading a simple plan.

No, no, no ... I'm not requesting that you write a Strategy. The fact is that, I don't use Strategy ... I detest Strategy. I just wanted the indicator that you have, that passes order variables to a strategy (such as your RangerATM Strategy) and that is called from within it and which also invokes an ATM strategy for handling stops and targets.; but what you posted is part of the codes for the indicator and which I'm unable to understand.

The RangerATM Strategy creates buttons in the toolbar and can not be in the same chart as the chart trader. It is a strategy and invokes an ATM strategy to handle the stops and targets. It doesn't connect to an indicator. @bukkan helped me create it and has a in depth understanding of order handling in NT.
The snippet I posted above from an indicator requires a strategy to pass the information to . It is totally different from the Ranger ATM strategy and a lot more complicated (translation: a lot easier to screw things up). You need to get input from someone of Bukkan's ability to advise you on it. I do not have the skill level to justify passing out critical code to traders that could very well blow them up.

My brain is getting grasp of it now. I quite already understood the function of your RangerATM which I had used in the past. In any case, I'm confident that your codes wouldn't blow me up; I can handle it ... incidentally, I'm a Programmer. Meanwhile, I'll explore Bukkan's inputs.
