Indicator Doesn't Update When Chart is Minimized

[toptrader]

I've created a rather simple indicator that is working fine with the exception to this issue. If I load the indicator on two identical charts at the same time, both charts show the exact same data. However, if I minimize one of two charts, only one chart updates. The image below shows the result. The top chart was visible on my screen at all times, but I had the bottom chart minimized.



I added a print statement in OnMarketData, and the print statement is not processed when the chart is in a minimized state.

protected override void OnMarketData(MarketDataEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.MarketDataType!=MarketDataType.Last)
        return;

    Print(Time[0].ToString() + " - Indicator is updating");
}

What would cause OnMarketData to stop processing my print statement?

Try setting
IsSuspendedWhileInactive = false;
in the OnStateChange function.

It defaults to true.

Hello toptrader,

Thanks for your post.

Please check the code of the indicator, in the OnStateChange() method, in the State.SetDefaults section, do you see the line:

IsSuspendedWhileInactive = true;

A chart being minimized would be considered inactive to the indicator.

To clarify, please see the helpguide section here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...leinactive.htm

Looks like that did it. Thanks!!!
