Show Past Trades on Chart

[NinjaCustomer]

is there a way to show the past (closed) trades on the chart?

Good day NinjaCustomer,

Thank you for your post.

Yes, there is a way to show previous closed trades on your chart. This is viewed in the Trades section within the Data Series menu.
Right click on an open chart and click Data Series. Scroll down to the bottom to where it says Trades and expand that section. Then change Plot Executions to either "Markers" or "Text and Markers". Click OK and now this will display all your previous trades.

Here is the link to Ninjatrader 8 help guide regarding Data Series properties.

Let me know if you have further questions.

are you completely sure about this? I checked and I already had text and marker...

I have no problems with plotting executions of currently open positions...

but what else must I do to get it to display those positions on the chart after they have been closed?

ok i just did a cqg demo 6E trade and closed it

trade was performed via chart trader on the 200 tick chart

but if i duplicate that tradeless tick chart to a new tab.. then the new tab will show the trade

F5 on the original tab forces a chart redraw but doesn't show the trade

neither does a reload all historical data

Good day NinjaCustomer,

Thank you for your note.

The trades displayed are dependent on the account selected in Chart Trader. Would you please provide a screen shot with your chart trader open on the chart you're having this issue with?

I look forward to your response.

account everything is the same, all I do is duplicate to a new chart tab and the trades will appear on the new char - just not on the old one

Hello NinjaCustomer,

Thank you for you note.

I would suggest closing the original chart and proceeding from your newly duplicated chart since the original may have become corrupted over time. If this behavior repeats in the future please send us your database, log, and trace files so that I may look into what occurred.

You can do this by going to the Control Center-> Help-> Email Support
Expand 'Other files' and enable 'Database file'.
Please reference the following ticket number in the body of the email: 1900714 and this forum post link.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.
