    Setting ChartObject Templates per Timeframe

    Hi NT Team,

    two questions:

    A) I work with global drawing objects across multiple timeframes on the same instrument.
    To keep clarity on where things are coming from, is it possible to default the formatting of objects depending on the timeframe they are originally drawn on?

    For instance:
    - When I draw a square or line on the daily timeframe I'd like this to always be red.
    - When I draw a square or line on an hourly timeframe I'd like this to always be green.
    - ...and so on and so forth.

    If not available, I presume this could be done by defining some template naming convention that gets picked up by NT.
    Say "DEFAULT 15m" or similar...

    B) Could you please log a feature request to get a label input field on the drawing object properties, so that if populated it can label the drawing object with a custom value e.g. "Daily resistance" or "15m HVN" etc. (sorry to mention the competition, but TradingView does this very nicely on their horizontal lines for instance)

    Cheers,
    Frank

    Hello,

    Thanks for writing in.

    For Question A, this is not currently possible in the NinjaTrader platform. Drawing Object defaults are set to the type of drawing object and not the time-frame. There also is not a naming convention for a template that the platform would pick up automatically to achieve this, as drawing object templates do not reference chart intervals in any way. I have submitted a feature request on your behalf for this functionality.

    For Question B, I have also submitted this as a feature request to the Development Team. I will follow up with a internal tracking numbers for the two requests for your reference as soon as they are created.

    Thanks in advance for your patience.
