all rectangles suddenly disappeared and shifted to the left

[levk0malyna]

this is what my layout looked like initially today


I was reviewing previous november price action on my \CL charts and drew a few boxes.
i then return to today's charts and all my boxes are gone (only lines remain)





and whats worse is that all these missing boxes now appear randomly and out of place in november... i did not change a single one.


i tried reloaing historical data and ninja script, did not help. i even tried discarding the saved workspace and that didnt help either.

how can i shift all these boxes back in place/why did they disappear in the first place?

[levk0malyna]

not only were they shifted but they were also skewed. i.e a 5-day box is now compressed to 3... so i cant even offset them back manually.
how do I fix this?
not the first time it happened

Hello levk0malyna,

Thank you for writing in.

I would like to see if the workspace loads in the same for me on my platform.

Please use the following steps to send your Workspace and Template files along with log and trace files to the support team directly from your NinjaTrader Platform so we may investigate this behavior further:

• Within NinjaTrader, go to the Control Center > Help > Email Support...
• To: Set this to "Platform Technical Support"
• Subject: Copy and paste the Forum URL
• Attach: Attach a file, picture, or compressed file to share multiple files/pictures
• Body: Include any other information you would like to share on the situation
• Expand Other Files and check all of these boxes:
  • Log and trace files
  • Workspace files and UI settings
  • Template files
• Then, send the message.

We look forward to your response and resolving your inquiry.

Did you manually draw those boxes using the drawing tool, or are they auto placed from an indicator?

Thanks all for your answers -- I ended up just replacing them manually using my past screenshots, and have since engaged in routine daily backups.

>re did I draw them myself -- The vertical boxes (ones delimiting NY trading session) are drawn by an indicator (repeater v2). Rest of the boxes (all the colored ones) were drawn by me... they represent imbalances, buy/sell zones, LVAs, POCs, and whatever else relevant (ihmo) information I spotted using orderflow at the time... Can't trade without them.

just a weird bug that I cannot seem to reproduce...

For manual drawings, it's a known thing that they can move when the chart is adjusted, see here for similar (specifically the last couple of posts in this thread): https://forum.ninjatrader.com/forum/...-moving-around

Apples and oranges I believe. The rectangles are not anchored in the future, some are ending several bars back, so they would not suffer from the same effect.

Sure the underlying cause might be different, but it doesn't matter because in the end the conclusion is the same, which is that hand drawings in can unexpectedly move around on the chart.
