load charts in a defined order

[timko]

Hi, I have a workspace with 4 charts.
When starting up ninjatrader 8, is there a way to define a load up sequence of these charts? ie, first to load chart A, wait for all its indicators to complete calculations before loading chart B, so on and so forth...

Hello timko,

Thank you for your post.

Glad to assist. No, there is not an option to control this at this time - I have submitted this as a feature request to the Development Team.

The tracking ID for this request is SFT-4118. You may reference this ID in the future regarding this matter. Our Help Guide Release Notes will also list all new changed or additions to NinjaTrader (Help > Help).

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

thanks a lot Eric for your prompt reply!
so, may I know
1. is there any work around at this moment to obtain the same result? OR
2. is there any way to control the start up of an indicator in a chart? (eg, indicator calculation is not allowed until the user makes a manual trigger)

1. Other than manually opening each chart each time, I can't think of a way to control loading in the manner you're suggesting
2. Each indicator has a 'visible' property. If you disable that, the indicator will be applied but not loaded. You would need to enable 'visible' for the indicator to calculate and plot

thanks for the "visible" tip.
can I request a feature, in terms of a on/off button, that allows bulk visible/invisible to all indicators in a chart?
