Hi,
Too much label info on the chart bothers me.
I know you can avoid it by using
Code
public override string ToString()
{
return "Indicator";
}
which forces the name on the chart. However you loose variables settings too.
Is there a way to only errase instrument and timeframe info, but keep variables displayed ?
Thanks

I think you can just change the label to a space and it will keep the indicator name but lose the settings.
this.Name = ' ';

Hi Mike,
If I do that I really get a whole blank for everything.

An option is to use StringBuilder to create the string to display whatever you want. Do not forget to add " using System.Text; " to the declarations.
Code
public override string ToString () { StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder (); sb . AppendFormat ( "Modified Bands({0},{1})" , period . ToString (), deviation . ToString ()); return sb . ToString (); }

Actually, it is much simpler than using string builder, just do the following:
Code
public override string ToString ()
{
return "Modified Bands(" + period . ToString () + "," + deviation . ToString () + ")" ;
}
Using StringBuilder is not efficient for a small number of strings (you can google it, but here is one link StringBuilder ).
