Arrows and ticks crowding chart [SOLVED]
My charts a crowded with ticks and arrows using the chart trader. I am missing style “invisible” for arrow and tick in the chart trader and signals, to have a clean and proper chart to analyse. If I overlook the opportunity to do so, please tell me, otherwise it would be a good feature for the next update of Multicharts. Thank You!

Re: Arrows and ticks crowding chart
Uncheck "Show Historical Orders" unfortunately does not clean my chart. Disturbing arrows and ticks are displayed from the signal when autotrading is off.
My kind of trading is, monitoring the market and when I think it is opportune, switching the autotrader on to enter and exit the market with my algorithmic.
So it would be usefull having style “invisible” for arrow and tick in the signals.
P.S.: How can I add the "Format Signal" button to the customized toolbar?

If the arrows are from autotrading, then you have to turn off the arrow from the strategy.
Right click on chart,
Format Signals > Status

You can also change the formatting of the arrow and ticks from the signal; the signal doesn't need to be turned off with the Status button.@TJ
I like to have the signal with status on, so that I can start autotrading with one mouseclick.
Right-click the chart, and choose 'Format Signals'. Then select the signal you'd like to change and press 'Format'. Then in the 'Entries' and 'Exits' tabs of the 'Format Signal' window you can change the size, colour, and formatting of the arrows and ticks. The signal label and the order's size can also be turned off there, which might help unclutter the chart further.
In the 'Connecting Line' tab of the 'Format Signal' window you can disable the line that's drawn between the open and close orders, which also removes some 'noise' from the chart.
