Line connecting entry and exit point

[Marshmellowhead]

Is there a way to have a line drawn from the trade entry point to the exit point on the chart? Just like TS?

Hello Marshmellowhead,

You can use our drawing tools to draw lines. Please see the link below for more information.

Thanks. I meant automatically so when I review my trades at night, I can see the entry and exit better. Unless I missed it, it doesn't look like there's a way to do it auto. correct?

[NinjaTrader_Jessica]

That is correct, but I will forward your suggestion for our list of future considerations.

I found a way to do it : In the Accout Performance, in the Trades Tab, right click over any trade and select chart.
You get a 1 Min chart with all your trades marked as you said. I found no way to change the default chart, if you change time frame, the lines are gone....

[Marshmellowhead]

Thanks Pmaglio!! That's pretty good. Being able to change the chart type would be one step better. Maybe in an upcoming release.

Hello,


Thank you for your suggestion! I will submit it as a possible enhancement.

Any updates on this? From what I can tell it's still the same. You can right click on trades/executions and pull a chart up but it's still only a 1min chart. I trade on lower timeframes so it's cluttered and meaningless to look at on a 1min.

Hello mblack707,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum.

This is still currently how the chart opens, I will however forward your vote for this feature request and follow up with a unique tracking id for this request.

I look forward to assisting you further.

Thanks for the response. Not wanting to sound like a jerk, but simply wanting to know...

You said that before when the issue was raised back in 2008, did the people that make those decisions decide that it wasn't best to be able to provide that functionality? I realize you guys can't do everything for all people.

Hello,

No problem, it just simply hasn't had development time put on it yet. However we make the majority of any changes in a major release. Therefor stay tuned for our next major release for a lot of user enhancements to be added in. I do not have a release date at this time however it is being developed now.

Hello mblack707,

Thank you for your suggestion on how we can improve our product. We have added your request to the votes for this feature. The tracking id is #1050.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

This feature is really useful and nearly all other charting packages have it. Your current method of showing historical trades on a chart with arrows is often hard to read because you can't tell whether it's an entry or exit when there are lots of scalps for example. A line connecting the two would be so helpful.
I am disappointed that this feature has not been implemented despite being asked for over 10 years ago. It cannot be too hard to do.
As a long term Ninja user, who uses the platform daily, I would really appreciate you guys adding this important feature.
