Templates and Indicators

[guym]

I have a Custom Indicator that works without any problems when I add it to an existing chart. However, if I save the indicator as part of a template and then load the template, the indicator won't plot. I can see the indicator plot flash up for an instant and then it dissappears. The indicator is in the chart's indicator list. Reloading Ninjascript (F5) doesn't work either. I have to remove the indicator and then add it to the chart again in order to get it to display. Any suggestions as to what I might be causing the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Do you see any errormessages in the log tab of the Control Center window?

The message in the log is as follows:

Error on plotting indicator: Please check the plot method: Out of Memory

Your custom indicator eats up all available memory -> any chart/template using it will not work.

Please fix the bug and charts/templates should be working as expected.

The confusing part is that the custom indicator works just fine when I add it to the chart manually (i.e. using "Add" instead of via a template). So it seems that the difference between working and not working seems to have something to do with the way the template populates the chart??

Incorrect. There is no difference. At some point NT just hits the wall, since all memory is eaten up.

You can justify by using standard indicators: you shouldn't experience any difference there.

Problem solved. Thanks. I 'm using a custom dashstyle which was outside of the plot loop so C# was not releasing the memory when the plot loop went out of scope. Once I moved the DashValues inside the plot loop - Voila!
