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…â€. 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.
