There must be a way to simply turn on / off an indicator ?
cunparis raised the issue here but even NT 7 doesn't seem to have resolved this simple issue.
If someone can show me how, by using a bool, I can effectively run / not run the indicator - the rest I can do and share eg key codes to switch the indicator 'on' and 'off'
I have tried
(if(CurrentBar = 0 || ShowIndicator)
return;
but once I thought about it that obviously won't work.
No way to do it. Which is another example of pure insanity. They add all this stuff to NT7 but yet don't add the most basic of things that anyone who uses the platform 8 hours a day would really like to see...
Anyway, went off there a bit, sorry
Change all plots to transparent or remove it from chart. Only options. I should point out in MultiCharts there is a single button you can click -- viola, on/off.
I totally agree with you. Have you pointed this failure our to Ninja. I beleive that you are Beta testing. It is something very basic, and can be internally programmed in an instant. It is a Toggle.
This might be an example of what you wanting to do. I have done this to several indicators, they where all the type where they are overlayed on panel one. Ema's, Pivots, etc. You still have to open the indicator properties but you don't remove from the list for that chart.
This indicator simply plots the EMA High Low and Close for a single time period which creates a ribbon or wave look from the 3 lines. Can be useful for potential support and resistance areas. Instead of adding 3 individual EMA's to the chart, with this …
I haven't tried one that is in it's own panel like volume, rsi, macd, etc.
Check out the jiEconNewsAddln indicator. It has a good example of what would be a neat way to hide/unhide an indicator. You can set his indicator to Autohide and on the Ninja Toolbar bar it adds the ability to unhide it. I don't have the skill to understand how he did it. But I am sure there are plenty here that can.
UPDATE: 3/9 - Corrected autoscroll bug
UPDATE 3/11 - To run on NT7, copy the jtNinjaTrader.dll to your Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom folder. After restarting NT7 you will be able to add the indicator to your charts.
This is the updated "add-in" …
