Show or hide all plots, draw objects, and visibility.
Apply Magic Menu to a NinjaTrader 8 chart and it finds every indicator already loaded, then drops one control icon in the toolbar. Each mouse button opens its own menu, so the right control is always one click away.
Every tool you use, all at once
☰
one click
Only what you need, right now
Quiet a crowded chart for the trade in front of you, then restore every indicator the moment you want it back. Illustration of the workflow; see the Video tab for the live demo.
One icon. Three kinds of cleanup.
Each menu starts with the indicators already applied to your chart. Pick one to act on the whole indicator, or hover it to reach an individual plot or draw object. By default the three menus sit on the three mouse buttons:
Left click
Plots
Open the list of indicators that draw plots. Hide one indicator’s plots as a group, or hover it to switch individual plots on and off.
Right click
Draw objects
The same list, this time for supported indicator-created draw objects, so regions, lines, and markers can be cleared without touching the plots.
Middle click
Visibility
A flat list of your indicators, no submenu. Click one to switch it off and an X marks it, which also clears an empty lower panel it leaves behind.
Prefer a different layout? The button each menu lives on is set in the indicator properties, so you can arrange them the way your hand already works.
The real Magic Menu dropdown: applied indicators first, individual plots one hover away. Plots you deliberately set transparent are skipped by the menu’s group switches, so it respects the setup you already chose.
One thing worth knowing about visibility
Middle-click visibility is the strongest switch: it turns the indicator off, reloads the chart, and stops that script from calculating while it is hidden. That is exactly how you clear a leftover panel, but for tools that build up over time, such as volume profiles, restoring visibility can leave their numbers different from a chart that ran uninterrupted. Reach for the plot and draw-object menus when you just want a cleaner view, and use visibility when you truly need the indicator gone.
Focused on one job, and honest about it.
Magic Menu is a NinjaTrader 8 visibility utility, not a replacement for every indicator setting. Knowing where the line sits keeps it dependable.
What it controls
Plots on any applied indicator that exposes them
Supported indicator-created draw objects
Whole-indicator visibility, including a leftover lower panel
Group-level or individual on/off, per indicator
What it leaves alone
Items another script paints in OnRender, such as a bar timer or net-change label
Scroll the list to find the exact indicator instance.
Change its plot, draw-object, or visible setting.
Click OK and wait for the whole chart to reload.
Repeat for every indicator you want to quiet.
With Magic Menu
Click the toolbar icon.
Pick the indicator, plot, or draw object.
Plots and draw objects hide instantly, no properties window, no reload.
Click again to bring it all back.
Why traders use Magic Menu in NinjaTrader 8
Magic Menu earns its place on a NinjaTrader 8 chart by making cleanup a single click instead of a trip through the properties window.
Does Magic Menu work with default and custom indicators?
Yes. It automatically binds the indicators applied to the current chart, default or custom, then exposes their supported display controls.
Can it hide a single plot instead of the whole indicator?
Yes. Open the plot menu, hover an indicator, and switch its individual plots on or off. You can also hide all of an indicator’s plots as a group.
Will hiding plots remove the lower panel?
No. Hiding plots leaves the panel in place. Use middle-click visibility to turn the whole indicator off, which reloads the chart and clears the panel.
Can I put the three menus on different mouse buttons?
Yes. The plot, draw-object, and visibility menus are assigned to the left, middle, and right buttons in the indicator properties, and you can arrange them however you like.
Can it manage everything drawn on a chart?
No. It manages supported indicator plots and indicator-created draw objects. It cannot control items another script draws in OnRender, and multi-color plots may not respond to the plot menu. For styling the drawing tools themselves, see Color Style ToolBar.
Requirements: Windows and NinjaTrader 8.1.2.1 or later.
