Copy+Paste problems

[NinjaTrader_Chip]

Hello IkerCB

I found another PC here running version 3 & Windows XP. Here’s what I found when I re-ran the scenario

Equidistant spacing off – paste of Extended Line was non-parallel
Equidistant spacing on – paste of Extended Line was parallel

Hope this helps

Hello Chip, thanks for your answer.

I have had problems with copy and paste in previous versions of NinjaTrader too, so I do not know if upgrading to version 4 would resolve the problem. Anyway, I will try upgrading.

If anyone is reading this and is using version 3, I would really appreciate if he could try to reproduce the problem following the steps.

Thanks.

Maybe another forum participant who is using version 3 can try this & see what takes place.

Depending on the outcome, you may want to upgrade your installation of NinjaTrader to version 4.

Hello IkerCB

I am unable to reproduce the exact scenario since I am using version 4 (not 3). I was able to copy/paste & generate a parallel line both with Equidistant Bar Spacing on & off – same result.

Hello Chip,

Thank you very much for your answer.

I have restarted right now NinjaTrader, I created a new workspace and I followed the same steps and I have the same problem, the line is not parallel.

Is strange, but I have tried setting "Equidistant bar spacing" to "False" and it works fine, every duplicated line now is parallel. Very strange......

Any idea?

Hello

Thank you for your post.

I followed the steps you outlined but upon pasting the Extended Line drawing object the line that results is parallel. I am using NinjaTrader 7 version 4

Hello,

I am working with NinjaTrader 7.0.1000.3 on Windows 7.

I will try to explain my problem:

• I create a new chart.
• In the new chart window I set "Snap Mode" to "Disabled".
• I draw an "Extended line" in the chart.
• I select this new line and do CTrl-C and Ctrl-V (I also tried right click and copy+paste ) to paste a parallel line. The inclination of the new line is totally different, is not parallel.
  

By the way, "Equidistant bar spacing" is set to "True"

I read some other threads about similar problems but seems that they solved the problem with the 7.0.0.17 version on NinjaTrader.

Thanks in advance.
