Ichimoku loses color every time I open NinjaTrader

[punkiy2111]

Hello, it is an indicator that I use a lot and it is that clouds are colorless each time I close NinjaTrader and then open it. Here is your code, you can help?
I would like to leave the green set for bullish and bearish red cloud, and these colors are those who remain colorless.


Thanks in advance.

Hello punkiy2111,

For future reference, to export a NinjaTrader 7 NinjaScript to share the code do the following:

1. Click File -> Utilities -> Export NinjaScript
2. Enter a unique name for the file in the value for 'File name:'
3. Select the strategy from the objects list on the left -> click the right facing arrow ">" to add the strategy to the export
4. Click the 'Export' button -> click 'yes' to add any referenced indicators to the export -> click OK to clear the export location message

By default your exported file will be in the following location:

• (My) Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\ExportNinjaScript\<export_file_name.z ip>

Below is a link to the help guide on Exporting NinjaScripts.

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/export.htm

I have added the code you have posted to an indicator, which I am attaching to this post.
I am finding that the regions are being drawn on chart in historical data (meaning they appear when the indicator is first added to the chart). Is there something other than these regions that should be appearing?

Hello, I'm still having problems restarting the NinjaTrader. Colors disappear. Maybe it's something related to "Empty" that perhaps do nothing. What I like is that quedase seimpre fixed colors for the cloud, ie green for bullish and bearish red cloud.

Thank you.

Hello punkiy2111,

Are you using the script I have posted?

Are the green and red regions not being colored?

If so, I'd like to schedule a call to assist. Please send an email to platformsupport [at] ninjatrader.com. In the email, please include a link to this forum thread.

Yes, I've used and still malfunctioning, lost colors. I just sent an email with the complete file.

Thank you.

Hi punkiy2111,

I think I found the issue.
The color inputs are not serialized.
This means they can't be saved in the workspace so they come up blank.

How to serialize color inputs.

http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/showthread.php?p=25038#post25038

This used to cause an error that I would look for. Not sure why there is no error appearing.

Serializing this corrects the behavior on my end after a restart. (Or when applying from a template)

[punkiy2111]

Perfect!!!

thanks great team.
