Setting Parameters to be saved with an indicator - when is too late?

[DionysusToast]

All

I want to reset some of the indicator settings in my code.

I can do this - it works well and it saves the settings fine.

Now I'm trying to do this when the indicator/workspace/chart/Ninja is being closed. So - when they close the indicator, I'd like to have an event in which I execute some code.

The OnTermination event does allow me to execute code but it appears this is too late to make changes to the indicator settings - I would guess that's because they've already been saved.

So - is there an even that will trigger when the indicator is being closed but before Ninja has saved away all the settings?

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for your forum post.


There is not a method I am aware of that will allow you to do this other then OnTermination().However I will double check on this on Monday with some other members of our NinjaScript support team.

The only thing I can recommend is that you instead, in OnTermination() save this information to a .txt file or some external file such as using excel like in your excellent write up several months ago on using excel, or using a .txt file.

Then in Init() or OnStartUp() for your indicator/strategy then you could always load in the data from this external file.

Thanks for that - the problem with that approach is that I might be runing my indicator multiple times and so I'd need to somehow have an index value so that I would know which text file relates to which instance of the indicator.

I believe there's no way to 'id' a particular instance of an indicator.

Anyway - I'd appreciate it if you could talk to dev team. I guess I could do this on every tick but that would mean a performance hit.

If there is a way to put some code into the save process or an event that comes before it, it's be useful for me.

Hello,

Have discussed this over, Unfortunately there is no supported method to do this.
