Hello John and Team, Happy Thanksgiving to those in USA. Feature request: A way to toggle an ACS button or similar such that it would have the button status update as a subgraph value 0/1 or -1/1 or whatever. Rationale: This could then be monitored for all kinds of customizations in auto spreadsheets, trade by alert studies, and so on. It could even be used in auto trading to help turn on and off long or short side, while maintaining the other. In summary, any manual interventions that need to be applied to auto systems based on price action interpretations. Thank you, Mike |

We are not really understanding this request. The point of a Control Bar Button is to toggle some action. The buttons will update if the particular item that it monitors changes, so if you have a button to set a subgraph to 0 when depressed or 1 when not depressed, then the button will change state as the item it monitors changes. A good example of this is the "Trade Management by Study" and the "Enabled" option. If you enable/disable from the study, the Control Bar button updates to reflect this. So we think the Control Bars already do what you are asking for. But maybe we are not understanding, so please give us more information on what exactly you are looking for if not the above. Also, there are better ways to get notifications of the status of something other than the Control Bar buttons. Drawing something to the Graphics Area, in particular, is a good way to have the information.
