[Browsable(false)] for Plots?

[CriticalTrader]

How can I prevent Plots from appearing in a custom indicator's properties in NT8?

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

There is a way to turn off editing All plots for a script, that would be ArePlotsConfigurable : http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...nfigurable.htm

Unfortunately there is no way to disable a specific plot from being configurable, only Properties would be able to be Browsable(false) currently.

Potentially if your logic permits, you could use a Series rather than using a Plot for storing values. These would not show up in Plots but perform the same way as a Plot regarding setting a value to the series. http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...ightsub=series


I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thanks Jesse.
I wanted to use Plots to only maker the price on the yAxis, but set the default colors using other properties.

Couldn't figure out how to get a custom Series to plot the price on the yAxis?
If not I'll ArePlotsConfigurable = false for the Plots.

Looks like ArePlotsConfigurable = false is what I wanted... Plots Properties is not even visible (as desired).
Thanks again.

Nothing seems to change for me when using ArePlotsConfigurable = false. I have tried this in a custom indicator and a NT off the shelf indicator. The plots still show up in the Indicator dialogue box and are able to be altered. I've also messed around with [Browsable(false)] in the properties section with no luck. Do these do the same thing? Maybe my understanding is incorrect, any help would be appreciated.

I just doubled checked to make sure I wasn't imagining it.
OnStateChange
when State==State.Default
I have
ArePlotsConfigurable = false;
AddPlot(...);
AddPlot(...);

The Plots config parameters are not showing up on the Indicator Properties, as expected.

Try removing the indicator from the chart after compiling the changes; then add it back.
