drawing toolbar-shortcut

[Lisa Marshall]

Hi,
Has any kind person come up with a version of this for Ninja 8 -

https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...lbar-shortcut/ ?

I am basically looking for a drawing tool short cut that will either put the drawing toolbar on the left side or float it in the chart. Just to save some clicks.....

Many thanks!

Hello Lisa Marshall,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the Ninjatrader forums!

The NinjaTrader8 platform comes with an indicator that provide drawing tiles that can be added. The indicator is called "Drawing tool tile". You can make selections as to what tools to display and can arrange them a single row on the top or a single column on the left (or multiple rows/multiple columns).


Alternatively you can downlaod and install this indicator from the NT User apps: https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...-mahtoolbar-2/ Please note that: The NinjaTrader Ecosystem website is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered a solicitation to buy or sell a futures contract or make any other type of investment decision.

Here are the download and install guidelines:
To Import

1. Download the NinjaScripts to your desktop, keep them in the compressed .zip file.
2. From the Control Center window select the menu Tools>Import>Ninjascript add-on..
3. Select the downloaded .zip file
4. NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.

Critical - Specifically for some NinjaScripts, it will prompt that you are running newer versions of @SMA, @EMA, etc. and ask if you want to replace, press 'No'

Once installed, you may add the indicator to a chart by:

• Right click your chart > indicators > Select the Indicator from the list on the left > New > OK

HI Paul,
Thanks so much for your reply!
I really like mahtoolbar but I notice that when I add it I loose my vertical grid lines, which I like to have.
Do you think this is a glitch or, perhaps, something that could be fixed?
Happens on every chart if I add the script.
Many thanks!

Delete, Remove, or Comment Out Lines 185 and 186

DrawHorizontalGridLines    = true;
DrawVerticalGridLines    = false;

Also noticed you had several other posts around drawobject features..
Although not free, you might consider giving this just a quick look..

I tried commenting out those lines (185 and 186), but still my gridlines are not showing up? Any idea why that would happen?

Also tried changing both to true.

Sorry for such late response.. don't seem to get email notifications..

I forget what default values are if not used and comment out..
but to force it one way or other.. true to show and false to not..

Make sure there are no other indicators applied to chart using same code..
as they could very well be loading afterwards and overriding this one..

Glad you like my indicator and frankly it is the cleanest with smallest footprint of all ToolBars, and is free.

I have no issue with the indicator, and if you simply change line 186 to "true" your issue will be fixed. Let me know if your issue persists with mahToolBar and I will check the code.

Cheers!
