Is anyone willing to share code (snippets) on NT8 strategies that would create a button in a chart title bar (or on the chart itself) ? I'd like to create a "Position Close" button, only visible when the strategy has opened a position, that would close the open position when clicked.

Questions like this can easily be answered in a few minutes via Google search or similar. You will find coding examples as per links below:

The buttons may be added / removed with various events. However, I would prefer the button to stay visible as long as the strategy is active. You could use different colors for long, short and flat.
