I use the available tools to customize charts that tell me what I want to know. This page describes
in detail some of the combined components that can be applied to any particular template.
These two charts use the same template. Switch between the MACD histogram (left)
or a TRIX histogram (right) simply by toggling the Visible feature from On to Off.
(All Active Indicators list ► MACD (11,9,26) ► Properties ► Visible On/Off)
All of the charts on this blog contain elements of those that are shown below.
This one is a T-Mode chart template with it's All Active Indicators list.
The properties windows for each of the individual indicators follow below.
(The TRIX indicator will not be shown unless the MACD (11,9,26) Visible is turned to Off )

Displaying just the MACD (11,9,26) Histogram
B - in the PRICE pane
Displaying just the TRIX(5) Histogram

This is how I set up the title bar and the tool bar...I display these on every chart.
You can choose to add or delete individual toolbar command icons on a per chart basis.
You can dock them to the top, sides, bottom or undock them inside or outside
of each chart. You can easily toggle each toolbar between hide or show.
Chart window configuration adjustments - background colors, grids, X/Y axis etc.
I use custom horizontal & vertical price scale lines using the tools described above...
Know your software features, know where them and how to find manipulate them.
