Button Panel

Chart Trader Enhancements

The AlgoBox™ Button Panel

Upgrade your NinjaTrader Chart Trader panel with the AlgoBox™ Button Panel for superb functionality. It adds 6 additional buttons that allow you to manage your positions with a click of the mouse.

1) The Bracket button gives you the option to add targets and stops to any order placed without an ATM strategy.

2) The Add Stop button automatically adds a stop loss to naked orders, which is set to 30 ticks by default.

3) The Naked button removes targets and stops, leaving only your trade open (and your risk!).

4) The Flatten All button closes all trades and orders on all instruments.

5) The Half button closes half the trade, for example, if you have 4 contracts running and you want to take half the profit and let the other half run, this would close 2 contracts, leaving the other 2 still running.

6) The Double button allows you to double the contract size your current trade by adding the same number of orders to your existing position.

The Naked and Double buttons are for experienced users/traders only.

Hotkeys

Hotkeys can offer potentially faster execution than point & click with using the mouse. The AlgoBox™ Button Panel offers hotkeys by default. Click on your chart, press CTRL + i to enter Indicators configuration window:

Always be sure to activate (click on) the chart you want the hotkeys to take action with, prior to using the hotkeys, otherwise you risk potentially changing orders on a different instrument in error or the hotkeys not working the moment you need them to work.

AlgoBox™ Speedometer Psychology Module

Although not a part of the AlgoBox™ Button Panel, the AlgoBox™ Speedometer Psychology Module includes 3 buttons for even more functionality and is located at the bottom of the Chart Trader panel:
