code to save and load indicator templates

[b16_aln]

Hello,

Can you help me with custom code to save an indicator template to a certain location on my pc from and then to reload templates programatically. I see there is a "SaveInputToXml" method which I guess may be what I am looking for but I do not know how to implement it.

Thanks

Hello b16_aln,

There is no supported ninjascript method to save something in xml.

All public variables in indicators and strategies are automatically saved in xml, if they are not using the XmlIgnore attribute.

With an addon, you can implement IWorkspacePersistance to save values to xml.

For anything else, custom c# must be used and this would be outside of the realm of our support. I would suggest looking into xmlserializerclass.
Below is a link to a google search.

Thanks, if the public variables are already being saved then there is already code being used to do this. Can you give me some examples of that code in practice relating to saving indicator properties. I have looked through your suggestions and it does not help me. If you know how to do it, because it is already part of the platform to do this, could you not just share the unsupported code with me and save me a week of my time trying to look it up and experimenting which how to do it?

Thanks

Hello b16_aln,

Its internal core code we cannot provide. Unfortunately, this would not be supported for NinjaScript and we would not have any examples that can be used to navigate that path.

I will submit a feature request on your behalf for the development team to consider supporting this for NinjaScript.

I don't want a feature request submitted, don't do it on my behalf.

As NinjaTrader support are unwilling to provide an example of programatically saving and loading indocator templates could any other of the users here possible help me out? Thanks

Hello b16_aln,

To clarify, if the Engineering Support team has any unsupported code to provide, we are more than willing to provide it.

We would not have any examples that can be used to navigate that path at this time.
