Indicator enhancement idea for future version

[californiatrader]

Just an idea... it would be nice to have the ability to "enable/disable" an indicator temporarily the way you can a strategy. I've wanted to take an indicator that I've got set just they way I want it off the chart for a bit but obviously when I do I have to go back and resest all the settings. I know you can save a template and then reload that template on the chart, but the convenience of just turning an indicator on and off would be awesome!

Nice one that I have been meaning to suggest for a while. Maybe I actually did, and forgot that I did.

Actually you can simulate that now. Someone wrote an indicator that "fades" indicators in and out of a chart, collectively or individually or as groups.

There is a youtube video on how it works here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPy_dKDWsjg

I know. I already do that using a bool variable to use to declare the Plot and/or change its color to transparent, depending on what is needed.

The problem is that because it is defined in a partial class, it shows up in all indicators, even those that do not need a Plot, and I have to override it's browsable attribute in that case.

If the facility is handled by the base NT code instead, I have fewer hoops to jump through. The alternative of making the arrangement in each individual indicator is even more onerous a burden for me.
