Could someone kindly point me in the right direction? I am looking for an indicator or a setting within NT 7 and NT8 which shows me the exits of a position I took in linear fashion. The green lines are manually drawn, for illustration purposes

This is my first time uploading an image, so hopefully I've done this right.
many thanks

are you sure you just don't need to turn it on in ninjatrader ? there is a setting maybe in chart properties - or if not in data series properties.. to plot executions. although I'm not sure if that is only for completed executions.

No and in NT8 there is no way that I can see, how to do it. Hence my original post

If nothing else turns up I have a marker system that does this in TradeCatcher on NT7, I'll port that part of it to NT8 next week. Out now, see if anybody else chips in or has something already first.

There is nothing in NinjaTrader to draw lines to connect the trade entry marker to the exit marker, if that is the question. I haven't seen anything that does it with user-written indicator code either.

@ratfink, if you got that going in NT8 it would be very useful. It's amazing they don't have it.

Oddly enough, NT does draw lines to connect entry/exit points for strategies. Somehow, they didn't think anyone would like it for regular trades, I suppose.

For what it's worth (nothing ), I made a feature request to NT to add it, and it actually has a tracking number. But it's not like they have nothing else to do.... NT support site post: https://forum.ninjatrader.com/showthread.php?t=108650

Actually Bob that sounds like a much better idea, as you say that is definitely where it should be and crazy that they have it for one side of the proverbial coin but not for the other. I'll wait and see if they can get their act together. I tend to try and do too many things at the same time as it is, so I'll wait a while on this one and hope they deliver.

Cheers

Well, I would say you're right, except that, if you check the date of the request, it's 3/27/18, nearly 3 months ago. In another 3 months it's probably still going to be pending....

But you will, of course, have to decide where to put your effort.

Bob.

Bob.

That would be a great feature in @NinjaTrader.
I’m always jealous of the people posting charts with the lines drawn automatically.

I’m now drawing the lines by hand which takes my focus of the market. I draw the lines shortly after closing a trade because if it was messy I don’t recall the exact entry and exit positions anymore at the end of the session.

I was trying to nudge @ratfink into doing it, but I don't know if he is taking the bait. We'll have to see.

It would be a terrific feature, but I think the NT guys are probably overwhelmed, and since NT users have already done without it for all the years NT has existed, it's probably not a priority for them.

Bob.

Yeah... @ratfink will understand the hint, do you think?
