Dear Trader,

Please be advised that you can use  the following statement: 

        [Parameter(DefaultValue = false)]
        public bool Parameter { get; set; }

I am sorry, I was thinking about the output.

Would that be possible to set it to unchecked by default?

Sorry, could you be more specific about what you are trying to do.

I.e. if the indicator had two lines, I would like only one to be displayed by default and the other would be optional.

True and False

If there are only two choices in the parameter setup you can use the true and false statement. Below is an example.

[Parameter("Indicator 1 = 1,  Indicator 2 = 2 ", DefaultValue = true)]
        public bool Indicators { get; set; }

Then you have to put the logic in the code.

protected override void OnTick()
        {

if (Indicators == true)

ChartObjects.DrawText("Show Indicator 1", "\n" + "\n" + "\n" + , StaticPosition.TopRight, Colors.Green);

if (Indicators == false)

ChartObjects.DrawText("Show Indicator 2", "\n" + "\n" + "\n" + , StaticPosition.TopRight, Colors.Red);

I am using ChartObjects.DrawText but you can use any method.

Okay, but can't you just do it like:
