Hello Sam28,

It just happened, now, for me to see your very old post on this issue, and, based on your reply, I decided to ask you the following. (Sorry for this delay, but I think this issue may be critical and certainly interests many programmers around the globe.)

It is known, that Ninja support blocks the, so called, NT 7 's "hidden" : elements, functions, statements, commands,etc. The reason is obvious, but, in my opinion, is not fair !...

When they (Ninja support) are being asked to provide some information or documentation about these "hidden" elements, functions, etc. they just (only) reply that these functions "are not supported !" (they don't say that they don't "exist", they just say they are "not supported" !).

So I am interested to get some information on the following NT7's "hidden" functions, commands, statements, etc:

a) How do you "pause" or "halt" an automated strategy from within the ninjascript ,and what is the relative documentaion of these statements/commands/functions ?

b) How do you "restart" an automated strategy (from within the ninjascript) after it has been paused or halted and what is the relative documentation ?

c) how do you add extra buttons on the chart, like : strategy ON, strategy OFF, strategy PAUSE (either as add-on or from within the script) ?

d) how do you enable the "Chart trader" when a strategy is enabled (I am not sure if this is feasible with a hidden function)

d) finally, what is the total NT 7's list of the existing "hidden" elements, functions, etc and their relative documentation ? This information must be released, some day, to the traders; we need to have fair rules on this issue, it should not be kept secret. This is my opinion, and I think many will agree with me...

It would be very helpfull to all of us (Elite members) if anyone (on this forum) has availble this information and wants to share it with us. Any piece of information would be useful. And I think many of us will benefit.

Thank you.

a) and b): do it in your strategy, with a button changing a boolean so the strategy will be paused.
c) multiple examples in NexusFi, I don't have the pages in mind but it should be easy to find.
d) you can't.
d') there is no such documentation and now we don't care: NT8 is much more user friendly on this so no need to spend time finding hidden/undocumented stuff as it's easily visible with NT8 and Visual Studio.

Thank you for yr info.
Regarding your last statement : The majority (hundreds or thousands) of global NT traders are (still) using NT7, so all this people "care"...
No problem if you dont care...

Thanks, anyway.
