Data Box Enhancement Suggestion

[laocoon]

Hello

If you're working with a couple of Moving Averages and use the Data Box, the display can be quite confusing since the Moving Averages are only color-coded but the actual value isn't displayed in the Data Box.

Example: If you use the 50 SMA (displayed as a thin Red Line on the chart) and the 100 SMA (again displayed as a Red Line on the chart, only thicker), you will get two Red Boxes in the Data Box marked "SMA". It would be much better to have them display the full MA name, ie "50 SMA"and "100 SMA"

Thanks

Hello laocoon,

The Data Box does reflect the Period value of the SMA indicator in the Data Box.

well, that's interesting because my Data Box doen't show these values (see pic).
But even if it did, I think it would be much easier to read if the value was shown in the colored box next to the "SMA" label.

Thanks

You must have removed the information next to 'Label' for the indicator in the Indicator menu. This will cause the Data Box not to display such values.

I will forward your suggestion to display indicators that way in the Data Box to Development to put it on the list of future considerations of the software.

Thank you for your feedback.

Thanks Jason, I did indeed remove the information next to 'Label' for the indicator in the Indicator menu because I want my charts to be as clean as possible. Didn't know that if would also affect the Data Box. It would be an enhancement to display it like I suggested in my view.

Thanks
