Default Toggle price bars on/off

Is there a hot-key or other quick way to toggle price bars on or off?

I got hooked on being able to do this in a previous charting package. I use a wave strategy where it is useful to be able to remove the noisy price action while deciding my bigger strategy, then see the bars again to nail down my entry.

I could do this by running and removing an indicator called "HideBars" with one line of code like
BarColor = Color.Black; // (or match whatever background color you use)
But perhaps this feature has already been written into NT and I just haven't found it? Example chart attached, showing a long entry based on a simple parabolic wave strategy, price bars toggled on and off.

Thanks, loving NT's capabilities!!

I haven't tried this but it should be possible. You would have to color your bars Transparent with a true/false bool.

Hello dave_b_quickc,

Unfortunately there is no hotkey available by default that will toggle the price bars on and off.
