    Indicator enhancement idea for future version

    Just an idea... it would be nice to have the ability to "enable/disable" an indicator temporarily the way you can a strategy. I've wanted to take an indicator that I've got set just they way I want it off the chart for a bit but obviously when I do I have to go back and resest all the settings. I know you can save a template and then reload that template on the chart, but the convenience of just turning an indicator on and off would be awesome!

    Nice one that I have been meaning to suggest for a while. Maybe I actually did, and forgot that I did.

      Actually you can simulate that now. Someone wrote an indicator that "fades" indicators in and out of a chart, collectively or individually or as groups.

      Hmm, seems like it would be a better option to link to the creators site or at least ask his permission before posting the indicator? The "Author" specifically mentioned on his site that it was released for download. Let's give Richard credit and wait to see if someone else would package it and start selling it:sarcastic:


      There is a youtube video on how it works here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPy_dKDWsjg

        I know. I already do that using a bool variable to use to declare the Plot and/or change its color to transparent, depending on what is needed.

        The problem is that because it is defined in a partial class, it shows up in all indicators, even those that do not need a Plot, and I have to override it's browsable attribute in that case.

        If the facility is handled by the base NT code instead, I have fewer hoops to jump through. The alternative of making the arrangement in each individual indicator is even more onerous a burden for me.
