Chart Buttons for Adding Groups of Indicators
The Chart Button Indicator has been enhanced with a new button purpose
called "Add/Remove Preset Group". This button purpose can be used to
create a single chart button that toggles an entire group of technical
indicator presets on/off. When creating a button of this kind,
Investor/RT presents a list of group names that are eligible for use.
Only groups of type "Preset" can be used. To create a new group of type
"Preset", use File: New: Group or click the Group button on the main
toolbar and pick "Create New Group" from the ensuing list. When the "Add
Group" window appears, specify the group type as "Preset". Once you have
created one or more Preset groups, you can add technical indicator
presets to the group using the "Object Editor" window. To open this
window click the Green Trashcan icon on the main toolbar or choose
Object Editor from the Open Menu. When the Object Editor has Presets as
the object type, you will see a list of all of your defined technical
indicator presets. To add one to a group, select the preset, and click
the Add to Group button. The Add to Group window will prompt you to
supply the name of the group to which the selected preset is to be
added. To remove a preset from a preset group, open the group using the
Open Group button on the main toolbar (or choose File: Open: Group).
When you see the members of any group listed, Ctrl+double-click on any
member to remove it from the group. Confirmation will be requested.
Having created one or more Preset Groups, you may then add chart
button(s) that toggle the entire group on and off. For example, if you
had a button setup for a preset group containing 3 moving average
presets and a volume breakdown indicator preset, clicking the button
will add all four indicators to the chart at once. Clicking the button
again will remove all four indicators. This facility can also be used to
execute groups of "Signal Actions". While Signal Actions are not
technical indicators per se, you may create presets for them and
construct a group containing one or more signal action presets just like
any other indicator. When a button is assigned to a preset group
containing signal actions, each signal action is simple executed in
turn.
