Did the official release get rid of the ability to add channel ratios?

Did the official V 8.0.1.0 release get rid of the ability to add ratios to the channel drawing tool?

In other words, can you no longer plot 2x or 3x or 4x the channel width? Also, did they make it so the parallel no longer snaps?

Hello,

I am not seeing any removals of features for the Trend Channels drawing tool in the NinjaTrader 8 Release Notes, though I may not be fully understanding.

Were you previously seeing an option or feature that is now missing?

[armybender]

Yes, exactly. I used to be able to add a channel and it would automatically allow the addition of 2x or 3x channel width (whatever ratio I wanted) and that no longer happens.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

Was this a setting for the Trend Channel itself that is now missing? Where in the platform was this setting?

What was the name of the setting?

[armybender]

Yes, this is a change

Yes, this was a setting and a feature that is no longer available.

It's in the drawing properties and it's stored in the template file.

You can see in the XML file (renamed TXT) I attached that the parameter was called "Price Level" and you could put values in there like 100%, 200%, etc.

You can also see an example in the JPG I attached how it used to work.

Also, it no longer snaps the trend channel parallel line to anything. This happened 2 releases ago as well - it was fixed with RC2, now it's back.

Hello,

I will be investigating this matter further on my end and will follow up with you as further information becomes available.
