Drawing Objects Removed once Condition is True

[w0lverine]

In strategy builder, I have a condition when the condition draws a highlighted X. When the condition hits, it draws my highlighted X but when it hits for a second time, the previous highlight X disappears and the new one is drawn. I think it has something to do with my tags in the highlighted X. Any suggestions on how to keep my past drawings as the next condition hits?

Hello w0lverine,

Thanks for your post.

Your observation is correct, it is caused by using the same tag name in a draw object. The first object is removed and the new object is drawn when the tag name is the same. This is the default behavior in the strategy builder and was done to reduce the number of draw objects generated. You can certainly change that by adding to the tag name to make it unique per object and this will allow you to see all prior draw objects. I've previously created a short video that walks through the process to change the tag name to make it unique per bar (and talks about offsetting markers) https://paul-ninjatrader.tinytake.co...MF8xMTMwNTc0MA
