is it possible to hide/show all studies with a single mouse-click?

SAVE AND LABEL THE CURRENT STUDIES Select Analysis; Studies; Save Studies As Study Collection Enter a description in the Name: box (eg. My Favorite Studies) Click Save All; OK Select Analysis and confirm your new description appears in the list. CLEAR THE STUDIES AND SAVE THE BLANK CHART; Select Analysis; Studies; Remove all the studies from this chart Enter a description in the Name: box (eg. No Studies) Click Save All; OK Now you can toggle the studies off and on via the Analysis pull down menu.

That works in my case if i save each main chart's individual study collection under a different name b/c i have several study/price overlays on each chart. I have one chart book with four main charts that are visible then studies on 12 more charts that i use the study/price overlay study to place on the main charts. So each main chart has a bunch of charts associated with it. Your method works if I save a separate analysis group for each main chart. When i go to a chart that has different study/price overlays, and toggle it off, then on, i get the overlays from the memorized group and not the chart's own, unless i memorize a separate group for the new main chart. Your method IS better than hiding each study one at a time. It's a good start, and i'm glad you recommended it.. I have 15 studies on each main chart (mostly timelines and ranges), and eight main charts in two books total, so turning them off individually is tedious. But it would be great and much easier if there was just a simple button or checkbox that hid all the studies temporarily while i'm putting on daily support and resistance lines or pivot pts etc. And usually I monitor more than 20 main charts, each with 15 studies and 3-4 study/price overlays - but without a simple toggle I cant do it anymore.

And, there should be another button to toggle off/on all chart drawings with a single click.

To hide all of the Chart Drawings you can do this with Chart >> Hide Chart Drawings and you can set both a Control Bar button and keyboard shortcut for that.

It'd be nice if there was a button: " Chart >> Hide Chart Studies " Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-09-17 15:39:49

If you can add the ability to multi select studies when you open a study collection (similar to how it is when you open drawing properties) it will be easier to hide and show (Like when you have 100 studies in the collection and want to hide 10-15 of them) studies quickly. Thank You

This is a very goofy solution, I tested on my chart, it works: Press the "q" key will hide all the studies on the chart, and press the "q" key again will unhide all the studies. so on and so forth, just like a light switch. You will just have to load this tiny custom study to all of your charts Mouse click is also doable, since we have access to values of X and Y coordinates in a chart with ACSIL, but I think key board is much faster. if you don't like letter "q", go to this web site to find out the value of what ever key/letter you like to use, i.e. 27 for "Esc" #include "sierrachart.h" SCDLLName("KeyToHide") SCSFExport scsf_KeyToHide(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) { if (sc.SetDefaults) { sc.GraphName = "Key To Hide"; sc.GraphRegion = 0; sc.AutoLoop = 1; sc.UpdateAlways = 1; sc.ReceiveCharacterEvents = 1; return; } if (sc.CharacterEventCode==113) "q"uick hide sc.HideStudy = !sc.HideStudy; if (sc.HideStudy) { // chage to a bigger value if you have 100+ studies for (int MyStudyIDs {0}; MyStudyIDs<100; MyStudyIDs++) sc.SetStudyVisibilityState(MyStudyIDs, 0); } else { for (int MyStudyIDs {0}; MyStudyIDs<100; MyStudyIDs++) sc.SetStudyVisibilityState(MyStudyIDs, 1); } } Unfortunately, there is no ACSIL function or variable to hide/show drawings, unless for drawings drawn by sc.UseTool(), you can pretty much do whatever you want.

Thank You Tony, this is a real neat hack. I don't need to hide all studies just a bunch of them (so I was able to edit the for loop and it kinda works), do you know if there is a way to use the chronological # of the study instead of ID #, as the studies I want to hide don't have IDs in a consecutive order. Thanks again.

@raheemrazzak You are welcome, one of the possible option for your case is saving multiple study collections, and define buttons on the tool bar, so that each bar loads different set of study collections For ACSIL, unfortunately, I am not aware of a way to access chronological #, for the time being, this is the solution I am thinking (tested, works): Give each study an unique Short Name (see attached image) with or without space, doesn't matter, just make sure it matches exactly with the name in the code. That means it doesn't matter which order you loaded your studies, you will always be able to identify each one. I loaded Simple Moving Average, and give it a Short Name as "My ID2", the previous code would be modified as below: Then you can do whatever you want, i.e. press "q" to hide/unhide this group of studies, press "a" to hide/unhide that group of studies, etc, quite a work though if you have dozens or hundreds of studies. I will let you know if I would think of a better way to do it. #include "sierrachart.h" SCDLLName("KeyToHide") SCSFExport scsf_KeyToHide(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) { if (sc.SetDefaults) { sc.GraphName = "Key To Hide"; sc.GraphRegion = 0; sc.AutoLoop = 1; sc.UpdateAlways = 1; sc.ReceiveCharacterEvents = 1; return; } static int VisibilityOfGroup1 {1}; static int VisibilityOfGroup2 {1}; if (sc.CharacterEventCode==113) // "q"uick hide or unhide Group One VisibilityOfGroup1 = !VisibilityOfGroup1; if (VisibilityOfGroup1) { sc.SetStudyVisibilityState(sc.GetStudyIDByName(sc.ChartNumber, "My ID2", 1), 1); //sc.SetStudyVisibilityState(sc.GetStudyIDByName(sc.ChartNumber, "My ID7", 1), 1); //sc.SetStudyVisibilityState(sc.GetStudyIDByName(sc.ChartNumber, "My ID9", 1), 1); } else { sc.SetStudyVisibilityState(sc.GetStudyIDByName(sc.ChartNumber, "My ID2", 1), 0); //sc.SetStudyVisibilityState(sc.GetStudyIDByName(sc.ChartNumber, "My ID7", 1), 0); //sc.SetStudyVisibilityState(sc.GetStudyIDByName(sc.ChartNumber, "My ID9", 1), 0); } } Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-10-30 04:56:39

Thanks @User431178! @raheemrazzak previous code modified and tested, assumed the Simple Moving Aaverage is on the top of study's list, but its study ID is not 1 (i.e. ID 6), this is so much easier, no Short Name entries are needed. (1 based Index) #include "sierrachart.h" SCDLLName("KeyToHide") SCSFExport scsf_KeyToHide(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) { if (sc.SetDefaults) { sc.GraphName = "Key To Hide"; sc.GraphRegion = 0; sc.AutoLoop = 1; sc.UpdateAlways = 1; sc.ReceiveCharacterEvents = 1; return; } static int VisibilityOfGroup1 {1}; static int VisibilityOfGroup2 {1}; if (sc.CharacterEventCode==113) // "q"uick hide VisibilityOfGroup1 = !VisibilityOfGroup1; if (VisibilityOfGroup1) { sc.SetStudyVisibilityState(sc.GetStudyIDByIndex(sc.ChartNumber, 1), 1); //sc.SetStudyVisibilityState(sc.GetStudyIDByIndex(sc.ChartNumber, 2), 1); //sc.SetStudyVisibilityState(sc.GetStudyIDByIndex(sc.ChartNumber, 3), 1); } else { sc.SetStudyVisibilityState(sc.GetStudyIDByIndex(sc.ChartNumber, 1), 0); //sc.SetStudyVisibilityState(sc.GetStudyIDByIndex(sc.ChartNumber, 2), 0); //sc.SetStudyVisibilityState(sc.GetStudyIDByIndex(sc.ChartNumber, 3), 0); } } Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-10-30 14:53:26
