Having Template colour problems

[lucyjoy]

Hi

Im modding an indicator so it changes colour based on a variable.

The problem is that when i save as a template the colour change stops working

here is my plot

Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Black, 2), PlotStyle.Line, "DairyValue"));

here is my colour change

	
			
if(Mom>Mom1) 

{
PlotColors[4][0] = longColour1;
} 

else {
PlotColors[4][0] = longColour2;
				}
			}

this results in a line that changes colour based on whats happening.

If i save this indicator as a template then it changes the lines back to black and blue with no colour changing.

Any ideas.

Thanks for the screen shot, that does indeed help. I'm working to see if I can reproduce and resolve this behavior for you. Please expect an update shortly.

I'm not able to reproduce this - are you saving it in a Chart Template, or saving the Indicator settings in a template (by right clicking on the Indicator properties, select "Set Default".

Exact what changes are you making to the template?

Would you be able to update a copy of your indicator and the xml template file? (Documents\NinjaTrader 7\Templates)

Your code implies that longColour1 and longColour2 are Properties of the indicator. If so, you need to serialize them in order for them to be saved. Search the forum on the phrase, "serialize color": there are numerous threads on serializing colors.

My most recent search gave me 14 threads. http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...archid=1452720

Nice one thanks...

Who would have thought not having 1 line of code would do this...
