Trade Naked script

Have you ever had a MT chart with trendlines, fibs, text, graphics, and all that stuff, and wished that you could just take the lines away for a minute so you can get a fresh perspective on it, without opening a new chart and losing your MAs, etc...? Well I did, and so I made a script called "Trade Naked". I've attached it. Put it in your experts/scripts, assign some reasonable hotkey to it ("CTRL+N"), and then press your hotkey to get a naked chart, and then press it again to restore the chart to the way it was.

Enjoy it! Note that I have tested this a bit, but there may be cases where it does not behave as it should under some untested circumstances. So don't blame me if you lose your trenlines and chart objects! In other words, use it at your own discretion!!

Hi Josh,
this is a great idea, and I use it regularly. The only thing it doesn't do for me is hide Moving Averages. Is it designed to do that? or does it just hide lines you draw onto the chart yourself?

bluesky, the script will only hide objects like text, lines, fibs, and so on. Basically, anything MT calls an "object." So, indicators are not, as far as I know, accessible to manipulate this way. I created an indicator that displays several MAs at once, and has an option to hide them all, and have used this in the past.

Thanks Josh for the reply. Is that indicator out in the public domain anywhere? I see there is a hot key in MT4 for adding an indicator, but no equivalent hot key for removing one, which would be useful.

Thanks Aidan, I appreciate the comment!

bluesky, "trade naked" is a script, not an indicator, so you put it in your scripts folder. It doesn't continue running, so there's nothing to 'attach' or 'detach' -- you just run it to hide, and run it again to show.

When I execute this (I assigned to hotkey ctrl-N) I get the message -

There was a problem opening temp file for writing

Would anyone have any idea why? THis seems like it would be really useful.

Thanks,

To Josh - or whoever knows the answer,

Ok, I put the file in my experts/scripts section of my metatrader charts, but how do I assign a "hotkey"?

When you view it in the Navigator (CTRL+N), right click and select "Set hotkey".

Hi Josh...
Can you share script that put set of Sma/Ema togheter in a chart and delete it?
There is a system to do that with all indicators...(No object!)
My desire is to have neked chart and add on sometime a set of indicators at time...Like layers!!
Thank you in advance...
