Post From: Visibility for chart drawings tools text etc. on certain timeframes only

Hi guys,

I have been with your company for almost a decade now. LOVE your platform and I hope to be with you for decades to come.

I am wondering if I can suggest a something. Currently I am using a bunch of charts and chartbooks at the same time to compare correlations in combination with simplified S&D levels. The problem that I am having is that the chart becomes a mess when it comes to switching to higher timeframe. For example the 4H timeframe as I am able to see drawings and texts made to be used on smaller timeframes only. Switching the visibility using the HIDE button on and off manually again and again hundreds of times a day is just a pain. Clients should be able to choose what time frame/time range are the objects on chart visible. In my example if I switch to 4H timeframe I would prefer the levels (and other chart drawings/tools) that were drawn/overlayed on and only to be used for for smaller timeframes (1m,5m,15m,30m) to be automatically hidden.

Solution: add a "Visibility" tab to chart drawing properties next to "Anchors" potentially with a tick box to "disable showing on linked charts" so that it can be saved as config.
And in the Study Settings next to "Alerts". that will allow us to select specific time range for the object/study visibility.

Example: text, 5m entry details should be visible only on 5m and smaller timeframes. 30min supply level (extended rectangle) should be visible only on 30m and lower timeframes.

I am a part of a huge group of traders with same/similar trading strategy that are using SC and I am not alone who is wishing for this feature to be implemented.

Similar feature was mentioned in the Possible to Copy Drawings across charts, but limit to specific timeframe visibility? post, but he is talking about a text only, where we would like this option on any tool, drawing, text etc. basically anything that can be put on chart where possible.

Thank you for your understanding, kind regards,
JJ
