Import Export Study (chart object)

[TraderSU]

My proposed indicator should periodically read all 'chart objects' from given chart and save/merge (serialize) the details into a study file (one file per symbol - or configurable in indicator setting). The same 'study file' can be used to re-draw those 'chart objects' on different chart for same symbol.

Is it possible? Can someone please guide me with code sample?

I guess this functionality should be added into core - possibly next to remove chart objects.

Thanks for the suggestion TraderSU, in our NT7 beta you can access manually drawn objects in the DrawObjects collection for this purpose - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...rawobjects.htm

I lost my trendlines & other studies very often because I keep closing the chart and then workspace gets saved without that chart... Guess I'm not a dumb user so this is a common problem that most of other users are facing.

Once saved, these studies can be applied on other timeframes too. I can even export my study and share with my friends. So possibilities are endless...

Thanks for the lead (DrawObjects). I guess I can take from here for indicator route, but I would love to see this support in CORE ;-)

Can you please move this thread into "Feature Request" section or create a feature request.

Also, how can we write an interactive indicator? I would like to have a Study [load] & [save] button which will trigger the import/export for DrawObjects?

Can it be done using indicator or NT SDK will be needed for that?

FYI: I've decent C# programming skill and write code for living :-D

Thanks for the feedback and suggestion, I'll forward it - the import and export with the help of custom buttons is unfortunately outside of what we can support here, however it's certainly doable with more advanced C# coding, I suggest to check for example into MSDN as a good starting point into those areas.

What does it take to add a button on #6 area? And/or a child inside context menu item "Drawing Tools"- #1 area?

Any sample? Is it reserved for NT or third party vendor has access to these areas through SDK or something...

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

TraderSU, the methods in this area are unfortunately not supported or documented - there's no special SDK needed though - for ideas exchange diving into this territory I suggest checking this thread out - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ad.php?t=22435

Any official update from NT team on this request. Is this going to become part of some future NT7 release?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

TraderSU, this is on our list for future consideration - currently we're focused on stabilizing NT7 beta.

Make your study objects as Global (can make default global) so that they always gets stored at following location; Backup them and share it with your friends if you like :-)
