Remove indicator & strategy titles from chart window

[burtoninlondon]

Hello, is there a way to remove the indicator & strategy titles shown in white text at the top of the chart window on the attached image? The text can often cover the price action and I'd like to hide them if possible.

Thanks,

Neil

Hello burtoninlondon,

Thank you for using NinjaTrader.

To remove the Indicator Labels (and other labels) on a Chart, do the following:

• Right-click in your Chart > select 'Indicators' (or hit Ctrl + I)
• Select the Indicator in the 'Configured' list in the bottom-left
• On the right in the 'Properties' section, remove any text displayed in the 'Label' box
• Click 'Apply' and the text for that Indicator will be removed from the top of the Chart

Repeat these steps for all Indicators (or Strategies) you would like to remove the label for in your Charts, and then click 'OK' to save and apply all of your changes.

When will you have a single property command that will do this all at once? Better yet a toggle button in the toolbar.

Hello mrlucky1x,

Thank you for your response.


I have submitted this as a feature request to the Development Team. I will follow up with an internal tracking number for your reference as soon as it is created.

Thanks in advance for your patience.

#burtoninlondon - you might also be interested to know that if you follow the steps and then Save as Default rather than Save, you won’t have to repeat this tedious exercise every time you add that indicator.

There is however no Toggle or similar, although there already exists a Feature Request from me back when Jesus was still wearing short trousers.

I recently watched a webinar with Ninja head of technology on ‘advanced features’ and at the Q&A an attendee asks how to remove all the white text at the top corner of the screen? Clearly users regard it as pertinent. Barrett was totally clueless on the matter, so I wouldn’t get your hopes up that your vote will translate into action
Best,

Any progress? Why NinjaTrader 7 doesn't have this kind of problem? Can your team just revise it following NT 7 asap? Manually delete label or reprogramming is not a solution for good.

Hello quietplayer,

Thank you for your response.


Unfortunately, I do not have any update from the Development Team regarding this. As mentioned above, you may wish to select Save as Default so that you do not have to keep doing this for all indicators you add to your chart.

You may also Subscribe to receive notifications from our 'News and Announcements' Forum page where platform updates will be announced as well.


Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Hello, I am able to remove labels from indicators if i want to remove text from chart. However, when i am running strategy, a lot of settings appear on the chart. How can I remove thosee?

https://prnt.sc/Oy2n2YRXvC15

UPDATE
I was able to insert this code
public override string DisplayName
{
get { return ""; }
}

But i still have some settings showing up. Can I remove those?

https://prnt.sc/rq7a2KKCrQgY

Is this the right place for this override function? there at the very top
{
public class StrategyName : Strategy
{
public BounceTraderAlgoV2()

public override string DisplayName
{
get { return ""; }
}

Also it throws an arror Memeber Class Declaration expected on line where "get" is
public override string DisplayName
{
get { return "name of the strategy"; }
}

HI once more.
I was able to change title of the strategy by overriding

however I still want to remove indicators used in strategy from the chart. see screenshot

https://prnt.sc/fjTxV8npuyQW

These indicators coming from strategy plots, so i cant undo them, maybe override them too?

Is there a way to do it?

Hello tkaboris,

Thank you for your note.

The label field in the strategy settings may be adjusted. If you leave it blank, no info will appear, and then you could also use quotations to display only the text within the quotations and leave out the system information like the indicator details. For more information about strategy properties:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/index.html?running_a_ninjascript_strategy.htm#UnderstandingStrategyProperties

For example, if you change the label to include quotes so it is "My Bounce Strategy Override" then it will only display that name and no other parameter information.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.
