Anyway to toggle on/off chart bubbles?

[rottentrade]

Even if I uncheck "show study", the chart bubbles still show up on the chart. Shouldn't they disappear as well?

Instead of modifying the codes to get ride of the bubbles, is there a quick way to turn them on and off from the Studies panel?

if you built in a show bubbles toggle into the code, you can do it right in the settings for the study. If you paste the code, I can have a look.

This will put it into the Settings screen. You will have to modify the other criteria after the first "and" within the "AddChartBubble" for your own triggers

input Bubbles_On = Yes;

AddChartBubble(Bubbles_On == Yes and MAshort crosses above MAlong and MAshort > MAshort[1] and MAlong > MAlong[1], low, "  BUY  ", Color.LIME, up = No);

Cool, that worked. Many thanks!

I also modified a bit by assigning different values (Bubbles1 Bubbles2, Bubbles3...) to different groups of bubbles. I currently have over 30 bubbles in the Strategy. Of course, not all are used at the same time. But this will definitely make it much more convenient. Thanks again.

I have another question similar to one above. Instead of using a Boolean (yes or no), I would like to use Strings for the Inputs as shown below (Both, Long, Short). But I get an error as shown below when I use a string. Any way to get it to work?

input Orders = {Default Both, Long, Short};

def Buy = Orders == Long and Close > Close[1];
def Sell = Orders == Short and Close < Close[1];
def Both = Buy or Sell;

Error message:

Wrong type cast: You could not compare this enum variable with this value at 166:12
Expected double
No such variable: Both at 166:22

I believe you need to use the switch function.

input price = close;
input plot_type = {default SMA, "Red EMA", "Green EMA", WMA};
plot Avg;
switch (plot_type) {
case SMA:
Avg = Average(price);
case WMA:
Avg = wma(price);
default:
Avg = ExpAverage(price);
}

You can do a switch, including all variables in your input orders.

Or, you can try this which seems to parse

input Orders = {default Both, Long, Short};

def Buy  = Orders == Orders.Long and close > close[1];
def Sell = Orders == Orders.Short and close < close[1];
def Both = Buy or Sell;

Thx for the reply. Here's what I've done using the suggestion, but still ran into a snag. Not sure what to do.

##### ENTRY/EXIT #####

def Buy = Close crosses above WMA(Close,20);
def Sell = Close crosses below WMA(Close,20);

input order_type = {default “Long”, “Short”};
def Order;
switch (order_type) {
case Long:
    Order = Buy;
case Short:
    Order = Sell;
}

##### BUY/SELL ORDERS #####

AddOrder(OrderType.BUY_AUTO, order_type == "Long" and Buy, close[0], 1, tickcolor = GetColor(1), arrowcolor = Color.UPTICK);
AddOrder(OrderType.SELL_AUTO, order_type == "Short" and Sell, close[0], 1, tickcolor = GetColor(2), arrowcolor = Color.DOWNTICK);

Error message:

Wrong type cast: You could not compare this enum variable with this value at 17:30
Wrong type cast: You could not compare this enum variable with this value at 18:31
Incompatible parameter: "Long" at 12:5
Expected double
Incompatible parameter: "Short" at 12:5

That did the trick. Very cool. Thank you so much!

Any luck with the bubble removal toggle?

Are you addressing me? Personally, I didn't quite understand what greco26 meant.

But the answer from scott69 solved my original question:
