Looking for hints or example scripts as to how to access the Chart Trader created orders I would like to be able to alter the quantity up/down increment for the control on the chart itself.

Thanks.

With this code snippet you can access ChartTrader class using ChartControl object

Chart chartWindow = Window.GetWindow(ChartControl.Parent) as Chart;

// if not added to a chart, do nothing
if (chartWindow == null)
return;

// this is the entire chart trader area grid
ChartTrader = chartWindow.FindFirst("ChartWindowChartTraderControl") as ChartTrader;

Any idea of a function allowing to cast orders sent by the existing chart trader buttons or Intercept an order name/ID/values.

I have a group of chart objects that are already on the chart trader but I am wanting to set something like renaming the order, or wait to send the order name it first and then place the order so I can trace when I entered at what price and what account it was made on.
