Persistence
Each of our HUD indicators comes with the ability to save the parameters into separate templates for different applications. For example, if a trader chose to use the indicator on a 1 minutes CL chart and a 5 minute GC chart, the parameters are potentially might have different settings to optimize the performance on each data series and instrument. NinjaTrader has the ability to save a template of the default setting for an indicator, but not to save the settings as applied to different instruments, data series, or chart types.
Persistence allows the trader to Load a template, Save a template, or Delete a template.
To save a template once the indicator parameters are set up as required, click inside the box labeled “Save…”. If this template has been saved before to a name that you would like to save it to again, click on the down arrow and select the name of the template you would like to over write with the new parameters. If you would like to create a new name, highlight the “Save…” and delete it. Type in a new template name for the saved indicator parameters.
The next time the indicator is added to a chart, the default indicator parameters will be automatically applied. To change these default parameters, use your persistence template by clicking on “Load” and then select the down arrow to open the drop down box with a list of available, previously saved, templates.
To remove a saved template click inside the remove box and select the drop down with the list of previously saved templates. Select the template you wish to remove. Be very careful to select the template to be removed as you will not get a message asking you if you are sure this is what you want to do. Any template selected will immediately be removed.
