Draw methods do not draw into my charts

[agcontreras3]

None of the Draw methods will draw in my charts. I've tried with MES and NMQ.

The Print statement does print the correct values to Output1 as follows:

Close: 5620.75, Triangle: at: 5620.25
Close: 5620.75, Triangle: at: 5620.25
Enabling NinjaScript strategy 'ICStrategy1/311744419' : On starting a real-time strategy - StartBehavior=WaitUntilFlat EntryHandling=All entries EntriesPerDirection=1 StopTargetHandling=Per entry execution ErrorHandling=Stop strategy, cancel orders, close positions ExitOnSessionClose=True / triggering 30 seconds before close SetOrderQuantityBy=Strategy ConnectionLossHandling=Recalculate DisconnectDelaySeconds=10 CancelEntriesOnStrategyDisable=False CancelExitsOnStrategyDisable=False Calculate=On bar close IsUnmanaged=False MaxRestarts=4 in 5 minutes
Close: 5621.25, Triangle: at: 5620.5

Below is a bare bones strategy and even it does not draw anything.

Print("Close: " + Close[0] + ", Triangle: at: " + (Low[0] - 1 *TickSize));
}
}
}

Suggestions from anyone is appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello agcontreras,

Thank you for your post.

With the strategy applied to the chart, after it enters real-time are you seeing any drawing objects listed in the Drawing Objects list?

If you test this script out: https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/draw_objects.htm

Are you seeing the drawing objects on the chart?

I just figured it out. looks like there is a difference if you start the strategy from control center or from right click on the chart. starting from the chart displays the graphics. thanks.
