Would like to see a click "override" on the SuperDOM.
Currently have the choice of "show confirm" dialog or not show it.
Would like to have 3rd choice of "show confirm" as default but, say, Shift+click acts as "don't show confirm"

Click "override" ? What does that mean... we have to be precise on what we mean so that Ray from Ninja knows what we are talking about..?

Do you mean like a 'SAFETY' on the DOM - so that it doesn't register clicks? Like Jigsaw?

I'm not familiar with Jigsaw, so can't comment on that.

See the 3rd line of my post.
Currently the DOM has 2 states: show confirm dialog or don't show confirm dialog.
The first won't send the order until you click ok on the dialog, and the second instantly sends the order.
Looking for a 3rd state: Default to show confirm with a click (current state 1), or hold a key (like shift or control or alt or ...) and that makes it behave as if the show confirm requirement is off (current state 2). The "key" lets you toggle between the 2 modes.

@NinjaTrader

Ray --

WE REALLY Really Need the ability to MAKE ONE DATA SERIES ON THE CHART --- the DOMINANT DATA SERIES --- when it comes to controlling the time axis.

What I mean is:

IF we have 2 or more data Series on the chart -- THE TIME AXIS GOES ALL CRAZY if they are not the exact same time series of charts :O and we get the UN-EQUAL BAR SPACING.

Well I would love the ability to make ONE DATA SERIES have EQUAL BAR SPACING and be the one that is the dominant one on the time axis and the other one can have all the weird bar spacing it wants!

this is so that we can actually have the 5min ES in the "background"(and have somekind of support and resistance lines from the 5min) but keep that data series hidden and then ACTUALLY TRADE of some other chart like tick, volume, range, etc...

This would be awesome -- because right now if we put 2 different data series like that -- we just end up with a HUGE MESS on the chart! :O :O Which obviously sucks.

It would be awesome and powerful to do that. >>> Basically tie the x-axis TO ONE of the Data Series <<< the one WE choose by a parameter somewhere >>> THEN have the other data series plot anywhere else... in the background.


I try to make the data series in the "background" the same color as the background so that it disappears and then try to use the other time frame for the trading!

THINK OF THIS WAY >>> WE should have all the info we need on one chart practically. >> With the main trading Data Series NOT distorted.

THANKS !

OpalDragon,

We added several features in this area for NT8:

1. Equidistant bar spacing is now compatible with multi-series charts by aligning each bar by time (Across all Data Series) as if it was on a single timeline and spacing them accordingly.
2. Non-equidistant charts now have the ability to lock to the lowest granularity Data Series.
3. We added visibility toggle to Data Series allowing you to hide a data series so it does not affect your X or Y axis(s) but still reference that Data Series from your indicators.

I don’t have the details on your exact use case to tell you the NT8 behavior satisfies your request completely but between the items above I believe you will see what you’re looking for in NT8.

@NinjaTrader Apologies if already exists and I missed searching
The ability to have if you reverse a position the stop loss and target be reversed as well.
Hope makes sense?
Thanks in advance

Stop and targets are created on reverse as part of the original ATM strategy for the origination position's ATM. This is the same behavior as NT7 so no change here.

Hi @NinjaTrader thanks for response
Some order or a color palette for dropdown I.E. when right clicking a line and selecting
properties>color> the dropdown is a mismosh of colors in alphabetical order would rather see colors
matched more appropriately....IE reds and blues and greens together.
2nd request is to have the ability when right clicking a drawn item.. in this example a lines properties to attach to it's
matching micro(sorry if wrong terminology) chart
IE placing a line or any drawing tool on a 6E chart..right clicking selecting properties>attach to ...your only options are the current chart or all 6E charts...Great but I
wish to be able to place this same line onto the M6E chart.
Is this possible?
Thanks

Hi @NinjaTrader thank for response but not what meant.
Was speaking more directly to if you are manually trading and place a target and a stop loss on a chart via chart trader.
Then you decide to reverse and have the target and stop loss flip flop for lack of a better term.
Just tried on chart trader with a tgt and stop placed then hit reverse but tgt and stop are erased/cancelled this is what I was hoping could somehow be addressed and have it automatically calculate what you have and where and self adjust?
Thanks again

Thanks for the clear explanation. This is not a feature we implemented for NinjaTrader 8.
