may be its the ChartTraderControl which is not initialized (it has a private constructor) etc. maybe you should bug fix it with try catch.

I am not a programmer and have no idea how to do. I am just a copy/paste and try/error guy...

alternative would be placing the buttons on the toolstrip or the chart panel itself.

I use the buttons on the toolstrip, not on charttrader.

bukkan

with the code i just provided an example (for submitting orders via indicators) which can be taken as a reference point.

Sure. But the above error comes from using your original indicator.

This is the only code from your indicator I use in the onStartup to create the account variable a, that is needed for the orders.

Code

    string accName=ChartControl.Controls["pnlChartTrader"].Controls["ctrChartTraderControl"].Controls["cboAccount"].Text;
                a = null;
                for (int i = 0;i <= NinjaTrader.Cbi.Globals.Accounts.Count - 1; i++)
                {
                    if (NinjaTrader.Cbi.Globals.Accounts[i].Name == accName)
                    {
                        a = NinjaTrader.Cbi.Globals.Accounts[i];
                    }
                }

I am also not a programmer. Ctrl+C Ctrl+V type only

the error lines in the ctrChartTraderControl control. when minimized it couldnt be accessed.

since you use the buttons on the toolstrip, you should remove all the codes pertaining to the ctrChartTraderControl, that should fix the issue.

The concept of using a button on a chart to fire the hotkey "cancel last order" works fine if trading only one instrument.
The only problem is that NT does not cancel the last order of the active window but the last order you have in the system.
If you have orders in different instruments you push the button in the CL window and an order (last placed) in the ES is canceled.
All "last order" hotkeys are not window sensitive. Others like close position, reverse or breakeven position are.
Nice to work with hotkeys, but tricky.

you can place an order via an indicator.

Download: ChartTraderIndicator

NinjaTrader by default disables the Chart Trader when one uses any strategy. This is a limitation which often bogs traders. Chart Trader indicator demonstrates how to send orders via an indicator. Here in the sample indicator you can send Limit orders, …

bukkan,

Can we have this ChartTraderIndicator to do Market Orders too, in addition to the Limit Orders it already has in it.

Do you mean that I can modify the ChartTraderIndicator in ...\bin\Custom folder ? I had thought that it is protected.
