I understand that not all feature request can be satisfied. But if no one is asking for a feature, the chance to get it is even lower.
So for me it is more useful to add ideas than being negative on a subject right away.
It's also possible to connect here with third party developers or users who shared their solutions to the problem.
I liked your initial post and how you addressed the way how the feature should look like. I will definetly post back here if I'll stumble over another solution if I'll stumble over it one day.
For instance it's thanks to your initial post I found the "hidden" feature of charting the executions out of the trade performance menu. The plots are more like what I'm looking for and I'm just loading a dedicated chart template (with limited functions) over it, for this view to match it as close as possible with my trigger chart.
...that's the strength of communities and forums!
Have a nice day!

I reset my password just to make a thread exactly like this. I'm glad other people feel the same way. The trade visualization is useless for a platform that specializes in that stuff.
Then the solution dawned on me: use Tradovate.
Seriously though, there has to be some way to code this into an indicator?
It looks like you can get a collection of the current sessions trades for a given account: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...executions.htm
Hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to draw a line between an entry and exit. I'd give it a shot but Ninjascript Editor is limited to licensed versions.

I agree this shouldn't be a big deal to script into a custom indicator.
Just it's currently not my focus what I'm working on right now.
Will definitely track the thread and get in touch again...

Maybe it's just me? And maybe it's a matter of training?
A solution for me have been to annotate my charts manually using NT's arrows/markers as a guide, but it's a time consuming process as well.
Just curious what experience other people have and if there's a way to do this better.
Clicking "Chart" from "Trades" in the "Trade Performance" generates a chart that is slightly better. But it's still a bit difficult to process. But maybe this is simply how it is if you trade frequently during a day.

That's the thing.
It should be extremely simple for Ninjatrader to implement. After all, it's a feature that's already existing in a way...
But they never implement customer wishes...

Hello Camper6003,
Thanks for your notes.
Yes, trades placed by NinjaScript strategies will link entry and exit orders with profitable/unprofitable trade lines. This is not currently an available option for manually placed trades.
This feature request is for tracking interest in implementing this feature for manually placed trades and has not been added to the platform at this time. Note that we do not have an estimated time for if/when this will be implemented.Brandon H.NinjaTrader Customer Service

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm aware of that solution, but I don't feel it's helping.
My suggestion:
1. You should add the option of creating lines between entry and exit like is shown in the second picture I posted above. You already have this functionality through Trade Performance. So not sure why it can't be available on ordinary charts also?
If this option is added, one may not need the second option.
2. Let the text (text box) be possible to move. And also have a line from the text to the entry/exit. Drag and drop style.
That way, the user can at least be able to clean up his charts a bit.
The way it is now is simply not working for me and I'm spending a lot of time annotating my charts manually...
Thanks in advance.
Johnny
But it's 9 years later, and nothing has been done...

Hello DerkWehler,
Thanks for your notes.
I have added your vote to this feature request.
As with all feature requests, interest is tracked before implementation is considered, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment. If implemented, it will be noted on the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.
