Need Help On Tradestation

Sorry if this belongs somewhere else but I am just getting started with tradestation and have a problem when I set up my workspaces. On some of my indicators I only use some of the lines and make others transparent/invisible. I have been able to do this with 2 - previous chart software but cannot discover how to do this with tradestation. Please tell me it can be done. Any tradestation pros out there that can help me with this?

Thanks
Chas

Yes it can be done, post a chart of what you need and what you want to disgard and that should help.

Need Help On Tradestation-sample-chart1.jpg


Here is a sample 7500 share chart. I would like the midline of the BB and the MACD and MACD AVG lines to be transparent. Appreciate the assistance.

Re: Need Help On Tradestation

For the BB, it's easy enough to go into the code and "comment out" the midline {just put french braces around Plot 3}. I tried this same game with the MACD, but when I commented out the AVG line, it messed up the whole indicator. So, one alternative way to make the AVG line to be invisible is to simply make it the same color as the background chart. There's probably a more elegant way to do it within the easylanguage code, but I don't know how to do that.

As Tasuki said, you can put { } around the relevant plots or alternatively put // in front of the plot and it comments it out the same.

I've done a little video for you, so I can teach you how to fish and anybody else willing to learn Easy Language.

Hope this helps

Re: Need Help On Tradestation

Blu-Ray, just curious. Was there any sound with that video? It was clear without, but I was just wondering, because I got an error message when it opened, saying something about a glitch in the download. Thanks again---I didn't know that two hash marks works the same as the french braces....learn somethin' every day!
