Hiding and Deleting Inserted Studies

You can hide or delete studies that you have inserted in a chart. If you hide a study, it is not visible in the chart anymore, but you can show it again with exactly the same settings that it had before. If you delete a study, it is removed from the chart completely.

Some studies consist of more than one study object - for example, the Bollinger Bands indicator consists of a line study object and an area study object. In these cases, you can also hide single study objects instead of the whole study.

Note             In price pages, study columns can be removed like all other price pages columns. See also Adding, Removing and Customizing Study Columns.

Note             If a study consists of more than one study object, deleting one object of the study will also remove the other study objects. For example, when you remove the middle line study object of a Bollinger Bands study, the area study object will be deleted as well.
