Default Drawing to All Charts

[elkingonzalez]

Hello Guys,

Currently I am trying to draw to all charts by default, and these are the steps I am following:

1. Create 2 charts
2. In the first one, I draw an object and in object properties > Attacch to ->All charts
3. Save the object as a default template (explample, a dashed line).
4. On the first chart, I draw a second line.
5. No lines are showed in the second chart.
6. After checking in properties of this second line, it shows the current chart only.


Could you please let me know what I am missing on this setup?

Thank you!

Hello elkinggonzalez,

Thank you for your post.

The steps you are taking are correct for saving a default template.

I was able to test and replicate this behavior on my end which is unexpected.

I have submitted a report to our Development Team for review.

Thank you for your patience.

Hello elkinggonzalez,

Thank you for your post.

This is still being tracked and looked into but I, unfortunately, have no further information.

When a new version of NinjaTrader is released you may check the Release Notes page for a list of fixes and new features.

This function not working on new NT Version 8.0.23.0 or later version.
But, you can enable this function manually.

If drawingtool's name is "Line", then

1. Go to "C:\Users\{your login name}\Documents\NinjaTrader 8\templates\DrawingTool\Line" directory,
2. Open "default.xml" width text editor,
3. Edit like this,

[before editing]
...
</Stroke>
<FullTypeName>NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingToo ls .Line</FullTypeName>
</Line>
</NinjaTrader>

[after editing]
...
</Stroke>
<FullTypeName>NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingToo ls .Line</FullTypeName>
<IsGlobalDrawingObjectDefault>true</IsGlobalDrawingObjectDefault>
</Line>
</NinjaTrader>

4. Save file,

5. Refresh Chart(F5), or Restart NT.
