AlphaDesk 3 EMA Toggle
- Индикаторы
- Версия: 1.0
AlphaDesk 3 EMA Toggle draws three exponential moving averages on the chart and puts a separate show/hide button for each of them directly on the chart. It removes the need to open indicator properties and untick plots just to clean up the chart.
The indicator plots the 200, 50 and 20 period EMAs, which are the three periods most traders watch for trend direction and pullback context. Each EMA has its own button in the bottom right corner of the chart.
HOW IT WORKS
The indicator places three buttons on the chart. Clicking a button switches the corresponding EMA between visible and hidden. A visible EMA is drawn in its normal colour and its button is filled with that colour. A hidden EMA is removed from the chart and its button turns grey.
The state of the three buttons is saved, so the chart looks the same way after the timeframe changes, after the indicator is reloaded and after the terminal is restarted. State is stored per account, per symbol and per set of periods, so a hidden 200 EMA on one chart does not affect the same indicator on another symbol.
The state is written to the terminal global variables and mirrored to a small text file as a backup, which keeps the buttons responsive even during a timeframe change before the indicator is calculated again.
