Retrieve ATM Strategy Template List

drmartell · (login for full post details)

Until one of the several recent NinjaTrader updates I was able to obtain a list of ATM Strategies like so:

Code

//get the list of available ATM Strategies and load to Popup combobox
ComboBox cb = ChartControl.Controls["pnlChartTrader"].Controls["ctrChartTraderControl"].Controls["cboStrategy"] as System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox;

cb.Items.RemoveAt(0); cb.Items.RemoveAt(1); //remove the "<None>" and "<Custom>" entries as they don't apply
			
object[] itemHolder = new Object[cb.Items.Count];

cb.Items.CopyTo(itemHolder,0);

Any bright ideas out there about another method?

Hi Doc,
you ever work this out? I am working on something similar, also need to figure out how to get the detail of that ATM (stop size, target size etc).
Please let me know when you get a chance.
Thanks!

Re: Retrieving a dropdown list of your Ninja ATM strategys...

I have a strategy (link below) I posted on the NinjaTrader site a while back that lets you click a dropdown on your strategy parameters list and displays all your ATM strategys and when your standard strategy logic decides to enter, passes control to your selected ATM until the ATM exits and then resumes control.
Examine the code and you can likely extract what you need for your purposes.
