Indicator templates

Postby samsin89143 » 03 Jul 2018

I can't seem to find how to set indicator templates in the wiki. I was able to save one by clicking on Save. But when I tried to save another template it saved the original template again under the name that I had typed in for the new template instead of the new template. How is this done.

I actually did that procedure and it didn't work. It saved the original template as it is written. I then had another template to save and I clicked Save and inserted a different name. The second template with a different name is exactly like the original template. So, both templates with different names contain the same information.

Also, I made sure that the original template wasn't highlighted and I made sure that I was on the workspace of the second template.

samsin89143, an entire set of the applied studies (both signals and indicators) is saved into a template. Therefore, you need to remove the studies that you do not want to save in this template, before saving it.

I checked that before I saved. The second chart that I wanted to make a second template didn't have any of the signals or indicators on it that the chart that was saved as the first template, yet when I brought the second template on a clean chart, it had the indicators from the first template.

Make sure to uncheck the checkbox next to your first template before creating a new chart and working on a different template on it.

I did that also. I unchecked the box and unhighlighted it. I also deleted both, rebooted the program and did the whole process again with the same result.
