I had a look through the keyboard shortcuts as well as the command line usage and was not able to find the ability to enable all disabled indicators across charts and workspaces. Does anyone have a method to accomplish this currently before I add it to a request?
The reason is that when starting up, many indicators need to wait for ADE when used and understandably disable themselves. It would be handy to hit a key and (re)enable them after the spin up.
Thanks for any direction.

Re: "Enable all indicators" Keyboard Shortcut or Command
I'm not aware of such a command.
In pseudo-code, something like:
That being said, an 'enable all' keyboard shortcut is a good idea.
As an alternative, what I used to do, was assign the current DateTime (`ComputerDateTime`) to a variable of such an indicator. Then recalculate every x seconds (`RecalcLastBarAfter`) and only process the logic of the indicator if there is, for example, at least 30 seconds between the "startup time" and the now current time.The reason is that when starting up, many indicators need to wait for ADE when used and understandably disable themselves.
In pseudo-code, something like:
Code: Select all
if (CurrentBar = 1) then startupTime = ComputerDateTime;
thirtySeconds = ELTimeToDateTime_s(30);
if (ComputerDateTime > (startupTime + thirtySeconds)) then begin
// indicator logic here
end;
RecalcLastBarAfter(1);

Re: "Enable all indicators" Keyboard Shortcut or Command
A bit different than what javamarket requested but for the same reasons.
Are there plans on making it possible, to enable/disable, individual indicators and signals from code?
This would be an enormous time saver.
