ATS Algo questions

[Aalv3]

What file do I need to look at to see GUI Panel outputs? In other words, how can I tell what the values are when the “auto” or “t man” boxes are checked to validate my conditions? Also, if anyone knows how to implement a trailing entry as well as a “cancel if not filled within x bars”, please let me know. I can do it on a managed order but my method is not working on unmanaged

see here:

and here the base

https://github.com/MicroTrendsLtd/NinjaTrader8/blob/main/ATSQuadroStrategyBase/NinjaTrader%208/bin/Custom/Strategies/AlgoSystemBase.cs properties section are named logically for function

see line #region properties 4120
eg IsTradeManagementEnabled

line 1467

see the samples use the methods etc
https://github.com/MicroTrendsLtd/NinjaTrader8/blob/main/ATSQuadroStrategyBase/NinjaTrader%208/bin/Custom/Strategies/ATSSamplePriceReversalTestHybridAlgo.cs

public override void TradeManagement(double lastPrice)

Thoughts on how to add data fields for contract size and targets/stops to the xaml panel for easy access/adjustment?

[MicroTrendsTom]

You can mod the GUI project in WPF and add fields etc?

Thank you, I am using "ATSQuadroStrategyBase NT8 Strategy" which is at https://ninjatraderecosystem because I have not been able to compile the GUI version.
I have Visual Studio 2022, do you recommend using an older version?

Just Follow the directions here:

1. How to install and use the NT8 ATSQuadroStrategyBase #61
   2)Post Installation: Use NinjaTrader 8 Code Editor and set a reference to WPFPropertyGrid #65
   Any issues post a new issue topic but search for prior answers also as this is a very common problem resolved with the directions etc
   Note here also if you want use something already built and inject your code signals - but no backtester as yet
