Can I reject trades from an add-on?

Desktop SDK - Add Ons
1

I am trying to have an add-on that loads when Ninjatrader opens, and has the ability to reject my trades.

Is this possible with the standard shipped API in Ninjatrader?

I need this, as the goal is to create an add on that will reject my trades if certain conditions arent completed.

To be clear, when I say reject, I mean the add-on can see that I am trying to submit a trade (like I hit market buy or market sell) and before ninjatrader actually sends that to the exchange, I want to entirely reject it.

I don’t want to have the order make it to the exchange, because trying to cancel it at that point would be unreliable.

If this is possible, can I please be pointed in the right direction, perhaps with the API calls to use for this.

Cheers,

Ian

You most likely have to create custom buttons for and use those. Those will gatekeep for you based on your conditions.

Ah, makes sense, thanks!

Yea buttons where I can actually register the click and handle it or disregard it, rather than trying to intercept the ChartTrader buttons.
