Markers in Indicator Panels

[gregiii]

Here is what I just did.

Closed all charts, MA, then Shut down NT.

Restart NT, now not a single chart open.

Created a new indicator called "qqq.cs", just like the ttt.cs.

Open a new chart, load qqq.

Same result.

Try this.

Import this file. Open a new chart. Apply PanelTrue and PanelFalse indicators. Post an image of what you get.

Thanks

Here it is.

here is more clearer, as I changed PanelFalse line to Black, Dot.

Also, with these two indicator loaded, NT is running very slow. It is trying to do something.. Unload them, everything back to normal.

I am stumped like you are. I will look into the performance issue, I see that here as well.

My last suggestions.

- Make sure the panel properties when adding the indicators on the chart are 2 and 3
- Try a complete uninstaller (deleting My Documents\NinjaTrader 6 folder) and re-install. You will lose user data in this process.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Ray,

1) I reinstalled NT on my other machine. And yes it works after reinstall. But all it says is that this function works under some conditions. I am still not confident to use it in my indicator yet becuase a few weeks from now it may quit working. I mean NT is working just fine otherwise, but a few functions (DrawLine, DrawRay) does not, then you have to reinstall NT to make it work. To me, it says these functions may have some issues. Hope you guy can look into it.

On a related note:

2) I am doing this (drawing line at indicator panel) is to create an indicator with different color without doing multiple Add(..), becuase doing so will mess up the DataBox and more resource consuming. An indicator with 4 color will essentially require 4 indicators.

Can you look into these possibilites that will let us create indicators with changing colors:

a) Allow plot's pen being changed after initialize() function, e.g.,

if value<0
Plot[0].Pen = new Pen(Color.Red,2);
else if value=0
Plot[0].Pen = new Pen(Color.Yellow,2);
else
Plot[0].Pen = new Pen(Color.Green,2);

That way indicator's color changes with its value. Right now if you do this way the indicator still stays the same color depends on its initial value.

b) Find a way to hide additional indicator from Databox, e.g,

Plot[1].ShowDataBox = true/false;

So we still do mutiple Add(..) for each color, but we hide them from Databox.

or c) whatever you may think of..

Thanks for considering.
