Option to Remove Buttons from Chart Trader Window

[cutzpr]

I am not sure if this is bothering anyone else, but is there a way now or can be added to future released to remove buttons like Buy Ask or Sell Bid. I often click those by accident and its costing me some points. Also the option to remove Buy Mkt and Buy Sell Mkt would be awesome aswell. We should have the ability to show/hide the buttons we would like to see in Chart trader.

Hello cutzpr,

Thanks for your post.

We are tracking interest for the option to remove buttons from Chart Trader in an existing internal feature request ticket and I have added your vote. This request is being tracked under the number SFT-3957.

As with all feature requests, interest is tracked before implementation is considered, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment. If implemented, it will be noted on the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.

This has been requested since 2009 for NT7. We may have to wait until NT9 for them to fulfill this request

I wrote an addon that removes all buttons. It's possible to modify it and remove only the buttons that you don't need, but I did not try.

Hi
How to upload this script(code)? I also want to delete quick buttons

[NinjaTrader_Erick]

Hello charandeep99 ,

Thank you for reaching out.

I would suggest searching the user ecosystem for custom NinjaScripts that may accomplish the same goal or closely resemble the indicators your have mentioned;

Please try searching here:

Trading Indicators | Automated Strategies | Trading Apps | NinjaTrader Ecosystem

Here is a basic guideline of how to import NinjaScript add-ons in NinjaTrader 8:
Note — To import NinjaScripts you will need the original .zip file.

To Import:

1. Download the NinjaScripts to your desktop, keep them in the compressed .zip file.
2. From the Control Center window select the menu Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-on...
3. Select the downloaded .zip file
4. NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.

Critical - Specifically for some NinjaScripts, it will prompt that you are running newer versions of @SMA, @EMA, etc. and ask if you want to replace, press 'No'

Once installed, you may add the indicator to a chart by:

• Right-click your chart > Indicators... > Select the Indicator from the 'Available' list on the left > Add > OK

Here is a short video demonstration of the import process:
