Strategy just to display an indicator, but want to see all trades in chart

[set2win]

Just created a strategy that only purpose is to AddChartIndicator , how can I get all trades to display as the strategy is actually not taking any trades. Is there something to add in the strategy to ignore the strategy as far as trades and then plot the markers and text of trades entered manually

Hello set2win,

Thanks for your post.

If you would like to have indicators appear on a chart window and have execution text and markers appear for manually placed trades, a custom NinjaScript strategy may not be needed.

You could make/save a Chart Template with all the indicators you want on the chart. Then, you could manually place trades and have the execution text and markers appear on the chart for those manually placed orders.

See this help guide page for more information: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._templates.htm

Otherwise, you could consider subscribing to the Account class, looping through the Account.Executions collection for the account, and could draw execution markers with arrow objects or something similar.

See the help guide documentation below for more information.

so the bottom line is if a strategy is included in a chart , only the strategy executions will show, no way around other than what you mentioned as plotting account executions

Hello set2win,

Thanks for your note.

That is correct. When a strategy is enabled on a chart the executions markers and text that display on the chart will be only the executions made by that strategy. Execution markers and text for manually placed orders will not appear.
