v7 suggestions

[Mindset]

Hi
Just got my first look at Nt7(beta 7)
1. To get to indicators I use Alt- O -E-I. Key Sequence.
It would be nice to carry on the sequence if say I wanted an indicator beginning with s just to continue to type 's' - but the indicator contents are not active?

2. This new OnTermination() method - should we still add base.Dispose() within it?

3. The help menu is a little forlorn - I know it's work in progress.

4. Any further advance with some sample codes - It took me forever to work out that MenuItems is now kind of redundant!!

5. is there any support on shortcut keys?

Data Series label

If you use > 1 data series on a chart you cannot remove the Data Series label from the top lhs.
Is this expected behaviour - I hope it is not?

1. Thank you for your suggestion.

2. Believe not.

3. Yup, it is a WIP.

4. WIP also.

5. There is a new Hotkey Manager in the Tools menu

6. I'm not sure where exactly you are referring to. Please clarify. Thank you.

My biggest issue so far - indicator on indicator need the inner indicator to be specified from scratch. I really think that is bad usability example.

I am sure the better scenario - user add indicator 1, user add indicator 2 and select data series from list of already added indicators (i.e. indicator 1).

From resource prospective it has to be an equal expense - indicator 1 has to be calculated whether it is part of scenario 1 (NT7) or 2 (mine).

Fully agree with maxima. NT Guys: please think about users. It is really hard job, especially when you have several layers of indicators and each one has many parameters.

Another bad example of the similar issue: say, you have an indicator that works with the pair of instruments ( you have at least one example in this forum ). Main instrument is specified by input dataseries, but the second instrument is specified as a string parameter of this indicator. We can't save this configuration as a template because it does not understand that this second parameter is in fact a second dataseries from this chart. So, every time you need a pair indicator , you have to add it from scratch.
Can we have Dataseries as an input parameter of an indicator ? I know, it is unreal, but, why not ?

Alternatively, can we do this inside an indicator: "TAKE 2nd dataseries from the current chart" - probably specifying a set of data series as a parameter of indicator as we do with "Input series" in the add indicator wizard.
How to implemet this: what about creating of array of Input series ( see attachement 3 ) instead of just one Input series. So, it will be an equivalent to writing Add( myAnotherInstrument,.... ) in Initialize. By the time indicator is created it will have all necessary Input series. and we can address those using same manner as Closes. it might look like Inputs[...] or, simply, we will know about them by using BarsInProgress variable.

I don't believe it is expected. We will look into it.

This is a bug which will be fixed with next update. Thanks for reporting.
