Hello,

As the title suggests I am looking for some code that I can use in my indicator to save and load the indicator properties to external xml files. As is generally my experience with nt8 support, they were unhelpful and refused to share the code to do this (https://forum.ninjatrader.com/forum/ninjatrader-8/indicator-development/1218493-code-to-save-and-load-indicator-templates)...so I am reaching out for some guidance here as I have no experience of xml and how to get it into the nt8 format. Loading and saving templates seems like such a common requirement that there must be many users that have already worked out and implemented this so hoping someone can share the code before I have to go balls deep into researching/implementing it.

I searched high and low and found this thread relating to nt7: . I don;t really understand what is going on with this example or how to translate it to nt8 but it seems to be generally what I am looking for.

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

I have created a routine to read an XML file in my strategy. I used it to read the current ATM template selected in the Chart Trader.

Here is an example i have done for you (took it from my strategy).

Don't forget to add these lines at the top of your script:
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using System.Xml;
