Horizontal Line marked as global is not displayed in other charts

[doron]

hi
If i add Horizontal Line manually to a chart and
set manually its property Attach to ES 12-15 (All Charts)
the Horizontal line appears in all charts with ES .
That is fine.

But when i add the Horizontal Line manually to a chart and in my script i wrote the following :

DrawingTools.HorizontalLine MyHL;
MyHL = DrawObjects[Tag] as DrawingTools.HorizontalLine;
MyHL.IsGlobalDrawingTool = true;
MyHL.AttachedTo.AttachedToType = AttachedToType.GlobalInstrument;

i can see visually that the property of the Horizontal Line was updated to
Attach to ES 12-15 (All Charts)
but the Horizontal Line does not show in other charts

what am i missing ?

Hello,

It may be that there is a bug causing these results. Can you please share a sample script with me which would reproduce the issue, so that I can verify it on my end?

In NT8 I don't see the warning about not being set to Global mode. The screen shot is what NT7 says. Is this a bug or was it left out intentionally?

hi

i can not do it now but i will send it to you later

Thank you, doron. James, I am going to submit a report to our team to investigate this further -- I can confirm on my end that the error dialogue does not appear, as well. (NTEIGHT-9131)

James -- we've added the error message from NinjaTrader 7 into NinjaTrader 8 today. When the Beta 7 build is released, you should see the familiar message displayed in this particular scenario.

I have started to get an intermittent issue with showing Fibs on all charts , sometimes this works fine but once in awhile when I set the fib to show on all charts it disappears from all charts.
this did not seem to be happening with the horizontal line but I could not swear to that.


Add this note

this appears to be repeatable if I create a default fib and then apply a template and then set to All charts

hi

attached indicator which demonstrate the problem

will sent in mail too

[NinjaTrader_DaveI]

Thank you. I was able to mitigate the issue by making a few small changes. I've changed your condition for identifying the line to read:

if (draw.GetType().ToString() == "NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools.HorizontalLine")

and I changed the Calculation mode to Calculate.OnEachTick to see the change occur more quickly. I've attached a new version of the script to this post for your reference.

James, I have not been able to reproduce your Fib issue thus far. Does the issue occur with all fib tools? Is the reproducible scenario still intermittent, or does it occur every time?

Here is a video of how the issue occurs. this happens every time I do it

[NinjaTrader_DaveI]

Gotcha, thank you. Just to be 100% certain -- you do have "show global drawing objects" enabled in the Data Series window on that chart, correct?

[doron]

hi

I sure do .
As i wrote the manual process works only the automated process - does not

[James108]

Yes that is definitely enabled

[NinjaTrader_DaveI]

Thank you. James, I'm still not able to replicate your issue. Would you mind sending me your actual fib template to test on my end? You can find it at C:\Users\<user>\Documents\NinjaTrader 8\templates\DrawingTool\FibonacciRetracements.

Doron, did you have better luck with the alternate code in my prior post?

[doron]

hi

while using your code the line changed its color to green immediately
but did not show on other charts .
if i double click on the horizontal green line - the property window of the horizontal line is opened an when i close it - the horizontal line appears in other charts


so problem still exit
