Hide Plots

[Gianpiero]

Is there a way to hide indicator plots on a price chart besides the obvious way to assign them a transparent brush? More precisely, is there a way to toggle on and off the plots?

Hello Gianpiero,

Thank you for your post.

You could also consider toggling the IsVisible property for the indicator, though when this bool is set to false the plots will no longer be calculated:

Otherwise, setting the plot to transparent as you already mentioned is a way to "toggle off" the plot in a way.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

I didn't consider toggling the IsVisible since I need the plot's values. I will try to code a boolean user variable to set BarBrush and CandleOutline to transparent.

There is an example of using a bool to determine if the plot should be transparent in the following forum post:
