8.0.9 breaks Market Analyzer

[saltminer]

Hi,
in 8.0.8 the following public Series<double> was visible and usable in the Market Analyzer. After updating to 8.0.9 it is not visible or usable.

        [Browsable(false)]	// this line prevents the data series from being displayed in the indicator properties dialog, do not remove
        [XmlIgnore()]		// this line ensures that the indicator can be saved/recovered as part of a chart template, do not remove
        public Series<double> SignalSeries
        {
            get { return signalSeries; }
        }

Cheers,
saltminer

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

I do see in the prior version that public series were listed but now they are not. I would not expect the series to be listed in the Plots list specifically as a public series is not specifically a Plot, only items added with AddPlot and referencing the Values collection in their public property would be a plot.

I was also able to locate a feature request to return NT8 to the same as NT7 in this regard to series showing up, nt8 currently should hide series that do not plot from specific areas in the platform like the MA Indicators Plot list and DataBox.

The suggested resolutions in this situation would be to either use a Plot which is listed in the Plots list or to use a MA Column instead of the Indicator column. For an example of a MA Column which sees an exposed indicator Series, you could see this post: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...ad.php?t=96036

Using the MAColumn example you should not need to change your existing code, but only create a complimentary Column that supports your custom public properties like series or other methods. This approach would also work for indicators that use custom methods like the ZigZag indicator.


I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hi Jesse,
thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately many Market Analyzer projects I've done will now be broken by 8.0.9.
Customers will be contacting me saying their thingamabob doesn't work any more.

If NT7 (for many years) and NT8 up until 8.0.8 all supported public Series, then this change should be considered "code breaking" and I would think that warnings should be issued with the update.

There seems no good point to this change.
The benefit of being able to use a public Series is that a chart can display meaningful Plots for the eyeballs, and then various code values to the Market Analyzer (such as 0,1,2) or for Bloodhound, without having to be displayed as a Plot.
