Indicator Properties Reset when Close and Open Ninjatrader for bool variable

[papaoutai]

Hi ,

I have a bool variable that can be tick on my indicator.
By default the bool is on true. Now if i untick the bool on the chart save as default on template , close and reload my ninjatrader the bool comes back to true


Steps with some screenshot:

Step 1 Load my indicator for the first time:


Step 2 : Untick Show only one apply and save as default template





Step 3 : Close ninjatrader ( saving my chart settings)

Step 4 : open ninjatrader again and unfortunately the Show only one is back ( enabled aKA tick)


I am not sure if there is something on the state that i am doing wrong.

Dummy code that i am doing

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
Description = @"Enter the description for your new custom Indicator here.";
Name = "MyCustomIndicator";
Calculate = Calculate.OnBarClose;
IsOverlay = true;
DisplayInDataBox = true;
DrawOnPricePanel = true;
DrawHorizontalGridLines = true;
DrawVerticalGridLines = true;
PaintPriceMarkers = true;
ScaleJustification = NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.ScaleJustification.Right;
//Disable this property if your indicator requires custom values that cumulate with each new market data event.
//See Help Guide for additional information.
IsSuspendedWhileInactive = true;
[B]ShowOnlyCountOne=true;[/B]

}
else if (State == State.Configure)
{
}
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
//Add your custom indicator logic here.

if(ShowOnlyCountOne == true) {

Print("Show only one");
}


if(ShowOnlyCountOne == false){

Print("Show all");
}


}

[XmlIgnore()]
[Display(Name = "Show only one", GroupName = "Drawing", Order = 1)]
public bool ShowOnlyCountOne
{ get; set; }

}

Thanks

Hello papaoutai,

Thanks for the post.

I believe this would be caused because you have the XmlIgnore attribute, that prevents the property from being saved in the templates/workspaces. Please try changing:

[B][XmlIgnore()][/B]
[Display(Name = "Show only one", GroupName = "Drawing", Order = 1)]
public bool ShowOnlyCountOne
{ get; set; }

to

[Display(Name = "Show only one", GroupName = "Drawing", Order = 1)]
public bool ShowOnlyCountOne
{ get; set; }

You will need to remove the indicator from where it is applied and re add it for this to take effect.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
