    Saving Charts with Drawings

    Hi,
    I have a usage question with saving charts.
    Let's say I want to make notes/drawing on "ES ##-##" with 5-min Period.
    I want to be able to save this chart so I can go back to it in the future.
    I also want to make other sets of notes/drawing on the same instrument, same period, then
    save it too for future reference.

    How can I look at the notes on the first chart without seeing the notes made on the second
    chart, and vice versa?
    Can I save the charts with different names so I can better identify them?

    Here is what I see:
    I can create the 2 charts as above, and then save the workspace.
    When I exit NT and reenter NT, I can reload the workspace and I see the 2 charts.
    But when I accidentally close one of the charts, I cannot get it back even when
    I open the workspace again.

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your post.

    Chart drawing objects are saved as part of the workspace. If, for example, you added a line to a chart then saved the workspace (File > Workspaces > Save Workspace) and restarted NinjaTrader you would see the line within the chart.

    The drawing object itself can be applied to a single chart or all charts showing the same instrument. To toggle this:
    • Double-click on the drawing object to open it's Properties menu.
    • Within that menu, use the 'Attach to' drop down menu to toggle how the drawing object is applied.

    It is not possible to name charts within a workspace.


    In your example, it would appear that you saved the change to the workspace when closing NinjaTrader down thereby overwriting the original workspace layout. When you wish to restore a workspace, restart but be sure to select the 'No to All' option when asked whether or not to save changes to workspaces when closing NinjaTrader.
