Time in future in data box ?

[Alfred]

Is it possible to show the time in the future in the data box...??...am looking for the chart time of a graphic target in the future....

Also ....clicking the advance search option in the Tech Support Forum today....was taken to another page, not to the advanced search box.

Thanks...

This is not possible. The data box gets its time stamp from the instrument data. If a data bar does not yet exist, it is not possible for the data box to display that time.

I also experience this. What appears to be happening is that the click passes through the drop down menu and selects the add which is 'behind' the menu. I'll be investigating this further on our end. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Here is a direct link to the advanced search:

Thanks Patrick....in Tradestation you can click on the chart to the right of the last bar on chart & get the time to show for where you click...this is useful to see the time of a graphic target in the future...wonder if this would be desirable in Ninja....??

Thanks....

I'll submit a feature request for this capability. I'll update this post when I have a tracking number. EDIT: the tracking number is SFT-2613

Obviously that could only work for time bars.

Cross-hair as cursor shows future time....

Noticed again (had forgotten)....local cross-hair as cursor only, shows time in future at bottom of chart....that is all I occasionally may need....

...thanks....

Alfred, it looks like this is only possible on a non-time based chart and is unintended. I will be speaking with the Development Team about making future time stamps more consistent throughout the platform. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
