Displaying trendline and indicators

[gear2d]

I not sure if this is possible but hoping for help with this. How do you allow indicators, and trendlines to show up on multiple windows? For example I have the daily and 1 min side by side. Drawing lines or placing indicators does not go to the other. Is there a way to enable this?

There are overloads to set IsGlobal to true for various drawing objects. For instance see the last two overloads at: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../draw_line.htm.

There is not an inbuilt functionality to copy indicators to another window but you could save a chart template (or even make it the default) and apply the template to your other windows so you don't have to set them all up from scratch.

Thank you Bruce. Is there a way to have at least trendlines be shown on multiple windows at the same time? Instead having to redraw on every signal time frame you may look at.

[QuantKey_Bruce]

Yes. If you're drawing them manually, in the line's properties (right-click on the line and choose Properties), click the dropdown under General for "Attach to" and choose the second option which reads "all charts". If you're drawing them programmatically with NinjaScript, use the overloads like I referenced above so you can set IsGlobal to true.

Thank you again Bruce. Is there a way to have this done each time I manually draw (in place of having to do the above each time, which to be honest, is an inconvenience)?

No, but this has been requested, in that it's been asked if it could be made possible for an indicator to set manually drawn lines to IsGlobal mode (which is the same as attaching to "all charts"). See also: https://forum.ninjatrader.com/forum/...ines-as-global. If that request were granted, you could add an indicator to your chart that picks up when you draw anything and sets them to global.

It should be possible now to write an indicator that watches for user drawn lines and then adds ITS OWN line that is global that matches your line. But that's a second line added by the indicator, not changing YOUR line which is what the request was about.

Hello gear2d,

Thanks for your post.

QuantKey_Bruce is correct in stating that you could use the IsGlobal overload set to true to draw objects globally from a NinjaScript. For example:

Draw.Line(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, int startBarsAgo, double startY, int endBarsAgo, double endY, bool isGlobal, string templateName)

Draw.Line(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../draw_line.htm

If the drawings are being manually drawn on the chart, you could change the 'Attach to' property to '<Instrument> all charts' by right-clicking on the drawing, choosing Properties, clicking the drop-'Attach to' drop-down menu, and choose the option "<Instrument> all charts".
