Hi lec0456,

If you mean to uncheck the box from the code, then no this is not possible. You can program such behavior yourself using custom parameters.

Custom Parameters?  How so? The parameter looks like this:

        [Output("LstPkMo", PlotType = PlotType.Histogram, Thickness = 1, LineColor = "Purple")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries LstPkMo { get; set; }

is there an output attribute I can set like visibility? or disabled? Or can I refer to the chart object in some way?  Maybe you can provide an example of using a custom parameter? Thanks

Also, it doesn't appear from a search that the forum has much info about custom parameters. See here:

Hi lec0456,

What I meant is to have a boolean parameter and use it to determine if these data series will be assigned values

using System;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = false, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewIndicator : Indicator
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = true)]
        public bool ShowResult { get; set; }

        [Output("Main")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries Result { get; set; }


        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            // Initialize and create nested indicators
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            // Calculate value at specified index
            if (ShowResult)
                Result[index] = 1;
        }
    }
}

RE:

Ah, ok, didn't think of that. But wasn't sure if I needed a workaround of if it could be done by setting an attribute

and if you want to fill the result but not display it, set the color to transparent. ("00000000")
