Attention!

Hi,
I've noticed a number of indicators use the property "ChartOnly = true";

This parameter seems poorly documented. Could you expand on what it does?
ie: Under what circumstances would I set it & what is it really doing when I change it from true / false.

I'm assuming the default is false.
thanks
Dave
I speculate that this property just prevents the indicator from being used in Strategy & MA. But assumptions are dangerous so I seek to know the ramifcations of thie option.

David,

This is an unsupported property. What it does is make the indicator for visualization only meaning you cannot programmatically access its values in other scripts (indicator or strategy).
