Labeling Lines with user specified text

[NinjaTrader_ChrisL]

Hi maexel, thanks for posting.

Global drawing tools are not supported for this addon because it was breaking when a template was added for a chart. We added this warning message to prevent the use of global draw objects.

Best regards,

Hi Chris,
thanks for your quick answer, what do I have to do to get the same line in different charts in the same workspace, as shown in this video with exactly this addon.

Hi Maexel, thanks for your reply.

He is using an older version of the drawing tool. You can use this indicator for horizontal lines instead:

Hi Chris,
thanks a lot. That basically works, but I have one issue, it only shows the price without digits (e.g. 16 instead of 16.34)
Can that be changed somehow, e.g. some global settings ?

Thanks and BR,
maexel

Hi maexel,

The indicator should be showing the decimals. There is no setting to switch the precision. What instrument are you using? Can you send a screen shot as well?

Kind regards,
-ChrisL

Hi Chris,
see attached screen.
what has been tried so far in order to solve it:
- remove indicator and install again
- remove all existing hor. lines, add new ones
- restart NT
- reload all historical data

thanks for your support,
BR, maexel

Hi maexel,

What instrument are you using in the screen shot?

[maexel]

SB, sugar futures

Hi maexel,

Please try opening up a new chart with no templates applied and test the indicator there. It should show decimals on there. Did you change any properties of the Instrument or Chart?

Kind regards,
-ChrisL

Hello Everyone,

I have recently tried installing this add-on. It gives me an error and then completely closes NT8. This is the error message I get when I click the file to import. Can anyone help me with this?




Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

Hello nephew94,

It looks like part of the path listed is missing. Try opening the folder \Documents\NinjaTrader 8 and then delete the tmp folder if it exists. Then create a new folder named tmp.

Thank you for looking at this for me. I did what was suggested. It initially says it was imported successfully but when I click ok it gives the following error. I have given all users permissions on the computer (although there is only one user). I gave permission in each one of the folders properties.



Thank you again for any help

Hello nephew94,

I would suggest doing the same process with the path listed. It looks like you have one drive being used which can cause issues. Please make sure one drive is exited and disabled so it cannot sync the documents folder before using NinjaTrader.

Thank you, Jesse! That worked!!!
