Getting Chart Settings for Indicator

[davydhnz]

Hi,

I'd like to get chart settings, for example:

if chart is candlestick or hollow candlestick.

Also is it possible to collapse parameter sections in the indicator by default? e.g.

[Gui.CategoryOrder("Line Parameters", 0)] Keep open by default
[Gui.CategoryOrder("Color Parameters", 20)] Collapse/close by default

Thank you for your help!

Hello davydhnz,

Thanks for your post.

There are no documented/supported means for getting the Chart Style settings in a script. However, you could set the ChartStyleType through code which you might find helpful. See the help guide page below.

ChartStyleType: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...tstyletype.htm

In regard to collapsing parameter sections by default, there is not documented/supported methods or functions in the help guide to accomplish this. Below is a public link.

An expandable class may achieve your goal. Below is a link to an example.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

I am trying to figure this out.
I'd like to write in the State.DataLoaded body , a code such as.
bool isCandleStick.= ChartStyleType == ChartStyleType.CandleStick;

All instructions I find, like the one above tells me that I can set the ChartStyleType through code. But I don't want to force anything. I want to see on which type of chart I've been placing my indicator.
Can you explain how can I go about this to get this information?
Thank you.

Hello Gio,

As Brandon mentioned, unfortunately, there are no supported means to obtain the ChartStyle settings through code.
