Accessing Chart Trader orders programmatically (NT8)

June 8th, 2017, 06:52 PM

Looking for hints or example scripts as to how to access the Chart Trader created orders I would like to be able to alter the quantity up/down increment for the control on the chart itself.

Thanks.

Did you find any?

Support says there is no documented way, but...

With this code snippet you can access ChartTrader class using ChartControl object

Chart chartWindow = Window.GetWindow(ChartControl.Parent) as Chart;

// if not added to a chart, do nothing
if (chartWindow == null)
return;

// this is the entire chart trader area grid
ChartTrader = chartWindow.FindFirst("ChartWindowChartTraderControl") as ChartTrader;

Any idea of a function allowing to cast orders sent by the existing chart trader buttons or Intercept an order name/ID/values.

I have a group of chart objects that are already on the chart trader but I am wanting to set something like renaming the order, or wait to send the order name it first and then place the order so I can trace when I entered at what price and what account it was made on.
