Make Price Candles TRANSPARENT with a Toolbar Button or keyboard shortcut

September 25th, 2022, 01:34 PM

GENTLEMEN,

Is there a way to make an indicator that will INSTANTLY make ALL the Price Bars on the chart Disappear / turn Transparent with a hotkey button or a toolbar button.

The reason I ask is because there is great PRACTICE ANALYSIS to do when you have some good powerful volume indicators and any other indicators that readings that you have to train on.

You then make the price bars transparent and then go thru the ENTIRE CHART and place VERTICAL LINES right on each spot where your other indicators tell you that there is an important event of some kind.

This helps you train your eyes to the important events on the indicators WITHOUT looking at price action.

THEN >>> you "turn the price bars back on" and you get to see if your indicators are actually any good and if they gave you some good areas to start doing business and either look for opportunities to execute from or if the indicator makes some good levels that can be used as price targets.

-------------------------------
Another way to do this manually is to go to the Data Series and change the price action to Line on Close then TRANSPARENT

but that is a slow and inefficient way of doing it.

I rather everything on Ninja to be a Keyboard Shortcut so it is executed quickly.

What do you think?

This may not be what you're asking, but you can do this quite easily without any custom code.
Duplicate the tab. Make the bars transparent on one tab. Then you can quickly switch between the two tabs using CTRL-TAB.

That is kind of a good idea
