Plots not working as expected.

[cre8able]

I have these plots in my indicator

                AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Black, 1), PlotStyle.Dot, "IFVG");
                AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Black, 1), PlotStyle.Dot, "GapTop");
                AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Black, 1), PlotStyle.Dot, "GapBottom");
                
                AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.White, 2), PlotStyle.Dot, "InitialEntry");
                AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.White, 4), PlotStyle.Hash, "Entry");
                
                AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Magenta, 4), PlotStyle.Hash, "Stop");
                AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Lime, 4), PlotStyle.Hash, "Target");

                AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Red, 1), PlotStyle.Hash, "sFixed");
                AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Green, 1), PlotStyle.Hash, "tFixed");
                
                AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Black, 1), PlotStyle.Dot, "SVert");
                AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Black, 1), PlotStyle.Dot, "TVert");
                
                AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Black, 1), PlotStyle.Hash, "Bars2Inverse");    
                AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Black, 1), PlotStyle.Hash, "SpeedOfInverse");    

                AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Black, 1), PlotStyle.Hash, "Win");    
                AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Black, 1), PlotStyle.Hash, "Loss");    
                ​ 

When I click on the indicator in the indicator window, the colors are correct


buy when I add it, the colors are wrong.


I have added and removed the indicator a bunch of times, but can get it to load right. It also plots wrong.

HELP

Also, the sFixed and tFixed appear to be Transparent instead of yellow since they show in the Data Box but aren't plotting on the chart

Hello cre8able,

Thanks for your post.

What version of NinjaTrader are you using? Please provide the entire version number. This can be found under Help -> About (Example: 8.?.?.?)

In the first screenshot of the first post, it seems that the indicator selected in the 'Available' section of the Indicators window is called 'IFVG' but in the second screenshot the indicator in the 'Configured' section is called 'IFVG_2023.03.09c'.

Do you have two indicators where the "Name" property in State.SetDefaults is set to "IFVG"?

In the screenshots you shared in the second post, it seems that both the Stop plot and the sFixed plot are plotting at the same exact value. It also seems that the Target plot and the tFixed plot are plotting at the same value.

If you reduce the code in your script to comment out the Stop and Target plots, do you see the sFixed and tFixed plots plotting on the chart window?

When testing the AddPlot() code you shared on my end, I see that the plot colors are the same when selecting the indicator in the 'Available' section and 'Configured' section. See the attached screenshots.

I suggest creating a clean environment using the steps below and importing the indicator onto the clean environment and testing the indicator to see if the behavior persists.

Creating a clean environment can be done by following the steps below:

1. Close NinjaTrader 8, and rename the "NinjaTrader 8" folder in My Documents to something like: "NinjaTrader 8 OLD"
2. Uninstall NinjaTrader from the Windows Control Panel and reinstall using the installer from account[dot]ninjatrader[dot]com
3. Add the required indicator and test the indicator.

If you ever need to switch back to your original platform, you may do so by closing NinjaTrader and swapping the platform folder names.

For example, Close NinjaTrader and rename the new "NinjaTrader 8" folder to "NinjaTrader 8 NEW" and the "NinjaTrader 8 OLD" folder to "NinjaTrader 8." Then restart the platform. Simply put: NinjaTrader 8 will always load the "NinjaTrader 8" folder in My Documents.

We look forward to assisting further.

I was on 8.1.2.1

I reloaded a clean version of NT and now the indicator seems fine

thanks
