Hello,

I realize there is a thread dedicated to NT7--NT8 conversions...however this Chart "indicator" does not plot or draw anything.

Instead it places orders either through a direct call to the OIF interface (does not write an OIF file), or it presses buttons on the ChartTrader panel for immediate orders.

For orders placed at the cursor, it calculates the price at the pointer.

It took me a long time to get this working, mostly with the help of Futures IO gurus, and some code from the forums.

Converting this to NT8 is beyond my skill level. Yet, it might be simple for a more advanced C#/Ninja person.

Any takers?

Scalpers will really appreciate this tool. Once working, it can be posted to the Elite Download area.

Thanks

@vantojo: it's more tricky, I think you know it now.
The idea is to use OnRender, you get the Y and then know the prices you pointed. Something like:
 
Code 
                            
double    wpfY = chartControl.MouseDownPoint.Y;

double    valueByYWpf = chartScale.GetValueByYWpf(wpfY);

valueByYWpf = Instrument.MasterInstrument.RoundToTickSize(valueByYWpf); 
Then you can use SharpDX to avoid the this.Dispatcher.InvokeAsync(()... stuff. There are examples of OnRender and so on in the documentation.
I quickly tried today with a <control><right-mouse click> but the object drawn was disappearing quickly (after an OnRender refresh I suppose) so I must be doing something wrong...

Thank you vantojo for your answer. But I was asking in this thread in hope that it exists for NT8...
