"Attach To" property for indicator drawn objects

[Turtle Trader]

I would like to request the "Attach To" property that is available on manual draw objects to also be available on draw objects created by code.

Thank you.

Hi Tomas777,

There is still a running list for the next major release of NinjaTrader for this feature.

I will add your vote to the list and forward this thread to development.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Attaching a created object to a chart, not an indicator (chart)

When I use the method DrawRectangle or DrawLine to create a rectangle and/or line it creates the object on the chart and attaches it to (Attach to) the indicator which created it (logically). Is there a way to create these objects (rectangles and lines) which ARE NOT attached to the indicator but only attached to the chart & data series? Or, is there a way to alter the “Attach to” parameter from within NinjaScript?

The reason I do not want the object attached to the indicator is because I may want to manually delete the object. Currently, when I try to manually delete the object, I get a warning which states, “The object was drawn by an indicator or strategy. Removing this object will also remove the indicator/strategy which created this object”

PnlPaul,

You cannot adjust the settings of the attach to via NinjaScript. However, you can remove certain objects but this will need to be done in the script. You would not be able to do this manually when the draw objects are place by an indicator.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hi,

Is it possible to unlock "Attach To" property for objects drawn by indicator?
I see almost 2 years passed from the last reply, so probably we have this feature now

Thanks.

Hello soulrider,

If you are trying to manually change the object from just one chart to All Charts, this should be possible.

Are you finding that this is not possible?

[soulrider]

I have an Indicator which drawns Fibo Retracements. This fibo object becomes attached to the indicator, so when I'm reloading indicators it's getting refreshed as well.
When I open object drawn by indicator, "Attach To" field is inavtice (greyed out).

What I want is to draw Fibo retracements figure with my indicator and then attach this figure to current chart instead of indicator.

Is it possible to do?

Thanks.

Hello soulrider,

No that will not be possible to do.

If an object is drawn by an indicator it attached to that indicator and not the chart.

Chelsea,

Have you ever seen NeoHarmonics Toolkit?
It's an indicator which draws an object, but attached to the chart.
Not sure how they do it.

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello soulrider,

There is not a supported method of drawing an object with an indicator and this not being attached to the indicator.

Also I am not aware of an unsupported method of doing this.

If you know that NeoHarmonics has a method to achieve this, I recommend contacting NeoHarmonics and seeing if they will provide you with this unsupported code.

Hm, good suggestion
Thanks.
