Fib retracements on session

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

After further thought...

If you do not save the Default workspace on shut down (in 6.5) then the settings will not be persisted.

A convoluted explanation...

Thanks NinjaTrader_Ray for getting involved in a custom indicator issue.
Ninja crashed the other day and after multiple restarts I restart I realized it was hanging trying to open a certain chart. I got an XML editor and looked inside the workspace I was using and deleted the corrupted chart.I then saved the workspace with a new name and removed the corrupted workspace from the ninja workspaces folder. When I started NT again it opened with no charts (as expected since the last-used workspace was no longer there) but I opened the fixed & renamed workspace fine, which was an exact copy of the old one minus the offending chart. (Relief!)
BUT my main indicator, the topic of this thread, had changed its draw characteristics to what I call Ninja default. If I draw a fib manually it is as specified by my saved preferences.Fine. But the indicator which automatically draws the fib on high/low of the current session does not use these now. What has changed and where is the indicator finding its draw parameters? As far as I know it should take these from the "Default Workspace" but as the attached pic of the XML code shows the values in the default workspace are the ones I want. As far as i can see the indicator code has no specs for drawing colors other than the high and low and should be calling these externally.
I am running the latest version 6.5.0.9 and always save "Yes to All" saving workspaces when exiting NT. If I create a new chart it is the same circumstance between drawing/ autodrawing. And as I mentioned before double-clicking the auto-fib and changing the parameters to my liking lasts exactly one candle before it reverts to the "Ninja Default".
I know there is an explanation, I just can't figure out what it is!
I do have the old 6.0 NT folder in my computer's documents folder but doubt this has an impact... Hopefully the pics will clarify my issue.
Help!

XML of Default workspace shows correct (desired) parameters (assuming this is the right place to look!):



Yet manual (left) and auto (right) are different.

For clarification -


You mean:
- NT6.5
- open chart
- draw fib. Retracement on chart
- properties, modify settings, apply and set to default
- create indicator which draws Fib. Retracement
- throw on chart
- from indicator drawn fib retracement hasn’t the defaults user sets ?
just tried this, works here. Or does he mean something different ?

Hi i just came across this indicator...and it doesn't seem to work for me...any help would be appreciated. I drew a sample fib on my chart just to see if it works properly and it does, but when i uploaded the Fib retracements on session it doesn't plot. I went into my Log file also to see if any errors but none...see attachment.

Hello,

I am sorry this is a custom indicator and I do not know what the issue is. You will need to debug it.
