Re: Indicators with ON/OFF buttons

4NDR45, Wed Oct 05, 2022 4:49 am

I have a general question to all respected coders of the MT4 indicators with buttons.
Do buttoned indicator versions have any influence on the resources MT4 uses when they are turned ON and OFF?
Do you only turn them OFF when you have too much indicators on the chart at once, so that you see more clearly or does turning them OFF also influence the performance of MT4?
Is there an article about this somewhere, has anyone tested this?

I have attached a TMA channel indicator and a volty cloud indicator I would like to ask to be upgraded to buttoned versions because I like to use them a lot for trend and price deviation visualization.
Usually I drop 3 TMA channels on the chart on different time frames, and then there are moments when I wish I could turn them off for a moment to see clearly because sometimes some things are overlapping and I can't see a supply-demand zone or support-resistance clearly...
Also I have a feeling that if I do not limit the history of the indicators my MT4 starts lagging and becomes less responsive.
