Adding a Show-Hide Button to a Moving Average Indicator

Summary

This brief note explains a small MetaTrader indicator modification: adding a button that lets the user show or hide a moving average on the chart. The author began with a moving-average example from the MQL5 editor help and added button logic to toggle the display, making the indicator behave like a comparable charting feature.

The document describes an interface convenience rather than a trading method. It gives no details about the moving-average period, calculation choices, code implementation, trading signals, or performance evidence. The feature can support chart inspection by allowing the average to be viewed or cleared as needed, but the note does not claim that toggling the line improves analysis or outcomes.

Key ideas

• The indicator adds a chart button for showing or hiding a moving average.\nIts implementation adapts a moving-average example from MetaTrader’s editor help.\nThe note provides a visualization control rather than a trading signal or tested strategy.\nIt does not specify the moving-average period or report performance evidence.
