Hello kumaresh11,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately, there is no way to identify which template you are currently using.

This is on our development teams list of future considerations, however I do not know when to expect this item to be implemented.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Template Identification...

Here is what I do to identify the chart template...on each chart I run a 1 period WMA indicator...then I rename that indicator to include the name of the charts template...and then save that template...then the templates name will appear at the top of your chart each time it is applied...

Screen shots below....

Thanks....

This is a great idea but I already have six indicators on my chart with custom settings and in order for this to work, the 1-per WMA must be the first indicator (else it falls off the right-hand edge of the screen). How do I "insert" the 1-per WMA as the first indicator on the list?

In NinjaTrader 7 you would need to remove and re-add the indicators. In NinjaTrader 8 there are 'up' and 'down' buttons within the indicator properties window to change the order of your indicators.

Patrick,

Well, I did find a way but it's not for the faint-of-heart and I'm sure it's not endorsed by you guys. I just closed the WS and edited the xml file, cutting everything from <Indicator7> to </Indicator7> and inserting the code before the <Indicator0> tag. Works great. I didn't even have to renumber the tags; they just have to be unique, I assume.
