ChartTrader is technically not allowed/supported by NT when used with a strategy (in fact when you run a strategy, ChartTrader is not available from the Control Center). In an ATM/ChartTrader you (or the ATM) enters the order, but a strategy enters it automatically ... in it's own namespace, etc. So how can a strategy possibly see an order entered outside of the strategy ?

But you can do it with the ChartControl functions. Note, you won't find any official documentation on them, but if you search for ChartControl on the NexusFi (formerly BMT) forums and also the NT support forums you should find enough to run an ATM with a strategy.

Look here:


I would ask in that thread since it duplicates most of the controls available when it creates the new panel window.

by the way, Mike, I love the photos of your dog!

I live in South America...and I don't need my own dog...there are so many loose ones (with owners, but running free) and I eventually win them over to be my buddies when I go for walks.

In my last neighborhood, I felt like a pied piper of dogs...sometimes with 6-7 of them at my side

:-)

Following code will give you combox of ATM strategies

if( ChartControl != null )
{
System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox cb = ChartControl.Controls["pnlChartTrader"].Controls["ctrChartTraderControl"].Controls["cboStrategy"] as System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox;
Print( "Active ATM strategy: " + cb.SelectedItem.ToString() );
}
