Drawing Object Permanent

[rwbil]

If I manual draw a rectangle or text on the chart it remains on the chart until I delete it. So if I reload historic data or open or close ninja the drawing objects stay. But when I draw inside my indicator it does not remain.

ls there a setting to tell this drawing object to stay permanent until I deleted it.

Specifically inside the indicator, when there is a news event I want to draw a drawing object and label it as news event. That I can do. But I want it to remain even if I close Ninja and reopen it, until I delete it.

The problem is when you reopen ninja that news story is gone and the one drawn is gone.

Hello Rwbil,

Thank you for your note.

There is no way to have the draw object not be deleted when restarting NinjaTrader or reloading the Indicator.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

You can write the time code of the drawing object to a file or save it to an array or list, then restore the object when NT restarts.

So write what? Write the time code of the object. Every DateTime object has a Ticks value, which I call the time code:

DateTime t = drawingObject.Time; // this is just a pseudo code
long timeCode = t.Ticks;
