Workspaces

Open, save, switch.

Start building here: open the clean workspace that ships with the kit, then make a throwaway one for the pages that follow. Five questions cover open, create, save, switch and delete.

The replies in each step are the assistant’s exact words from the recorded run of September 24, 2026. Watch the recording.

Permission: Workspaces on the menu (Help > High Tech Trading Analysis > AI Bridge > Workspaces) for anything that changes a workspace. Removing one, closing one without saving, or saving over another needs the Destructive tick too, and your yes in the chat unless --- Unattended is on. Reading needs nothing. One rule of the bridge: everything it changes, it changes in the workspace you are looking at; a chart in a background workspace is read, never written.
1Ask this
Which workspaces are open right now, and which one am I looking at?

"What workspaces are open, and which am I looking at?"

Your first question, and your check that the bridge is live: if it answers with your own workspaces, everything above worked. Just the open ones, and which is on top.

The assistant replied

One workspace is open, Blank, and it is the one you are looking at.

2Ask this
Open my HTAIDarkBlank workspace.

"Open my HTAIDarkBlank workspace."

The empty workspace that ships with the bridge, brought to the front. Your other workspaces stay open behind it.

The assistant replied

HTAIDarkBlank is open and in front. Blank stayed open behind it.

3Ask this
Make a new workspace called Testing and save it.

"Make a new workspace called Testing and save it."

A new empty workspace under a name you chose, saved, on top. This one is only here so you can delete it in the next step.

Click for what came back
The assistant replied

Testing was created and saved, and it is now the active workspace. Blank and HTAIDarkBlank stayed open behind it.

4Ask this
Switch to HTAIDarkBlank. Once it is in front, delete the Testing workspace.

"Switch to HTAIDarkBlank. Once it is in front, delete the Testing workspace."

Switch, then delete. The bridge never deletes the workspace you are looking at, so the switch has to land first; your assistant reads back which one is on top before it goes on. It names exactly what it will delete. With Unattended off, the bridge requires your confirmation; with Unattended on, it carries out your request without that additional question.

The assistant replied

HTAIDarkBlank is in front. Testing was closed and its saved file removed. NinjaTrader kept four dated recovery copies of it, in case you ever want it back.

5Ask this
Make a new workspace called HTAITest and save it.

"Make a new workspace called HTAITest and save it."

The same again, this time for keeps. HTAITest is your throwaway: every page after this one opens charts, adds indicators and places marks in here, and your own workspaces never come into it. Whether you keep it when you are done is up to you; nothing on this page decides that.

The assistant replied

HTAITest was created and saved, and it is now the active workspace. Blank and HTAIDarkBlank are still open behind it.

More you can ask (These are just examples. There is no menu to learn.)

  • "Save this workspace as HTAITest 2." (the old file stays)
  • "Save every open workspace."
  • "Close HTAIDarkBlank, no save."
  • "Close every workspace except this one, no saves."
  • "Close every workspace except this one, save all."
  • "Open my Trading workspace."
  • "Switch to HTAIDarkBlank."
  • "Is HTAIDarkData open?"
  • "Delete the Untitled2 workspace." (confirmation when Unattended is off)
  • "Clear the flashing taskbar button."
