Can also make averages invisible from the properties menu.  Right click, last option. Then send its value to the back. If you want everything saved the way you like then you can save it as a Custom Template.

tamas, are you running the vista version of BC?    I have the XP version.
If there's an issue maybe you can contact support.
 
I have noticed the value still displaying while invisible yes, all I can suggest is right click on the visible average and selecting from the order menu - [send to back] if its obscuring another price plot.   To make it disappear however is something someone else will have to answer.

Hi Maximo,
 
Thanks for the response, however, I don't think you quite understood what I'm looking to do. I'll try another example
 
Imagine placing 2 Moving Averages on a chart, 1 a 12 period exponential moving average, the other a 26 period exponential moving average.
 
When you move your cursor across the moving averages, it shows the moving average values for both the short and the long, even though your cursor may be on the 12 period MA.
 
Now, imagine Not Plotting the 12 period exponential moving average, HOWEVER, still displaying its value.
 
This is the result I'm trying to achieve. Hope that makes things clearer.
 
Looking forward to a response

I could've gotten that around the wrong way. That is the values are too large and so try dividing the values by 10 instead of multiplying.

Hi Tamas,

I think it's working as it should, that is not displaying the result of the calculation, but still scaling the chart according to the values of a + b;

You haven' t given those values but you did say the chart is 10x smaller,  so that implies the results are attempting to plot (invisibley) low values.   Try multiplying the results by 10 if you're attempting to overlay it on price.   If you're attempting to merge 2 indicators in a single window then there's a formula for that.

This works fine, so a bit more information does help.

[Name=xyz; visible=yes] {or no} 

res := (H + L + C) /3;

res

Hi,
 
I've started modifying one of the standard indicators that comes with BullCharts. I'm trying to display the results of a calculation as follows:
 
[Name=xyz; linestyle=noplot]
res := a + b;
res;
 
When I put the indicator on my chart, I don't see the result of the calculation anywhere on my chart
 
When I try the following (which is what also seems to be documented in the documentation)
 
[Name=xyz; linestyle=hidden]
res := a + b;
res;
 
It actually puts the line on my chart!
 
The only way to display the results of the calculation are:
 
[Name=xyz; visible=no]
res := a + b;
res
 
However, it squashes my chart as the result of the calculation is of a magnitude 10x smaller than the actual value of the price.
 
Has anybody successfully used linestyle=noplot? All I want to do is to display the results of my calculation without squashing my graph
 
Thanks
