how to remove indicators descriptions on top chart?

[NinjaTrader_Eleanore]

Hello hellboy78,

Thank you for your inquiry.

To remove labels of indicators from your charts in NinjaTrader 8, please try the following:

• Right-click within your chart and select Indicators
• Under the Configured Panel is a list of all of your indicators
• Remove the label from each indicator and select OK as you go.
• The label is listed under the Setup section

Below I have created a short example video showing these steps as well:

Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Thank you for using NinjaTrader.

hellboy78 adding FYI to @Eleanor's description, you might also find it useful to be aware if not realised that if you want to set this to always be the case i.e. whenever you add your particular indicator, save the indicator Template (lower RH corner of Properties dialogue box) to Default. If you don't, every time you add an instance of the indicator to any chart, you will still get the label resulting in 'War and Peace' obscuring half you visible chart area to no sensible objective that I have ever understood and no-one wants. It's your choice of course - if you don't want to remove it by default don't save it as Default template or save as a 'no label' template which you can choose at will.
There is a Feature Request to globally Show/Don't show labels which would negate to do this at all, which I'd ask you add your vote to, FWIW (very little, truth be known, unfortunately)
Hope it helps

If you have access to the indicator source code and know how to code, a simpler solution is to add this bit of code:

     // Hide the parameter list
     public override string DisplayName {
          get { return "Indicator Name"; }
     }

Where "Indicator Name" can be either the name of the indicator or some other name that you prefer.

For consistency, I put that code just above '#region Properties', but it doesn't have to be in that location.
