If indicator Name = "";

[fx.practic]

I always hide indicator name on chart in NT7 - this helps to economize area, increasing visibility and helps to keep trading ideas secure.

If set Name = "" in NT8 this way:

	protected override void OnStateChange()
		{
			if (State == State.SetDefaults)
			{
				Name = "";
			}
		}

Indicator name disappear from Indicator window (Please, look in attachment).


I am sure, users must have possibility to hide indicator name on chart.

P.S. This method work in NT&, but don't work in NT8 - Indicator name + chart parameters + indicator parameters stay visible on chart.

public override string ToString() 	{ 	return "";  	}

This work at the moment:

protected override void OnStateChange()
		{
			if (State == State.SetDefaults)
			{
				Name = "MyBestIndicator";
			}

			if (State == State.DataLoaded)
			{
				Name = "";
			}
		}

Hello fx.practic,

That is definitely the correct approach if you would like an indicator's name to show up on the properties screen and not the chart. Please let us know if we can be of assistance, and we will be happy to help.
