Default Days to load

[sjmuk1]

Is there a way to change the default days a chart loads from 5 to a bigger number?

Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry.

The Days to Load setting is tied to the Data Series. Saving Templates in Ninja Trader 8 will allow you to easily recall the custom settings made to a specific window at any time.

To save a Chart Template in Ninja Trader 8, do the following:

• Right-click in the Chart window > hover over 'Templates' > you will then have the options to 'Load', 'Save as', or 'Save as Default'
• Selecting 'Save As' will allow you to rename, remove, or save the current Chart as a Template that you will be able to recall on other Charts with the 'Load' option
• Selecting 'Save as Default' will make this chart the template that automatically opens for all future Chart windows.

Note: The steps outlined above for saving Chart Templates may be applied to most other windows on the platform as well, including the SuperDOM and Market Analyzer. You may also right-click on the top bar of any window to create a Duplicate of it as well.

Thanks but i have done that, i saved a chart with 28 days data loaded as a template and set it as 'Defualt' template. I tried opening a new chart using both templates and both still loaded 5 days of data. Why isn't it working? I would like the Defualt template to enforce the bigger number of days.
