Show and Hide indicator

[MJGutierrez]

Hi Everyone,

I am working on an indicator that marks my offer and demand zones, the zones are defined in different files according to the temporality, in this way I have a file for all the daily information, 4H, 1H, 15M, 5M 1M, sometimes For analysis I need to load the indicator twice on the same chart, is there any way to hide one and leave the other by creating a button?

Here is an example

Just Daily



Daily and 4H, how can i create a button for Hide Daily or 4H?

Hello MJGutierrez,

Thank you for your post.

So I may better assist you, please clarify what you mean by your question "is there any way to hide one and leave the other by creating a button?"
Where would you like the button and what exactly are you looking for the button to do when clicked? I notice that you highlighted the "Visible" checkbox in one of your screenshots; are you looking to have a button that toggles that visible option or something else? When you have multiple instances of the indicator loaded on the same chart are they displaying different items visually?

I appreciate your patience and look forward to your response.

Hi Emily, thanks a lot for your answer, "I notice that you highlighted the "Visible" checkbox in one of your screenshots; are you looking to have a button that toggles that visible option or something else?

Yes i am looking for a button to toggle the visibility of the indicator when i have multiple instances of the same, this because each instance loads a different .csv file

Hello MJGutierrez,

Thank you for the clarification.

This indicator is publicly available on our NinjaTrader Ecosystem website:

• https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...ers-and-wicks/

The aforementioned indicator contains code that will toggle between show/hide all indicators on the chart, although this could be modified to include/exclude certain indicators. For example, you could modify lines 193-206 so that instead of checking if the indi.Name != "ABMar****penLine" you could customize the "Label" property for each instance of the indicator and check for DisplayName in the script like the following:

if (indiSwitch)
{
if (indi.DisplayName == "Instance1")
{
indi.IsVisible = false;
}
}
else if (!indiSwitch)
{
if (indi.Name == "Instance1")
{
indi.IsVisible = true;
}
}

For more information about the DisplayName of an indicator:

I believe that using the ideas shown in this code, you should be able to code a button that will toggle the IsVisible property for the indicators on your chart as desired.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
