How to not plot Broker and Trades?

[7wonders]

I am aware of the stdstats=False option but that removes a whole bunch of functionality. What I am interested in is just removing the Broker and Trades subplots on matplotlib output. In other words how to set

plotinfo = dict(plot=True, subplot=True)

To

plotinfo = dict(plot=False)

Where/how exactly is that achieved?

The only way is to use stdstats=False and then add your custom set of Observers.

stdstats is meant as a default set of reasonable observers to use. Any other combination is a user defined one.

@backtrader Thx for the clarification! Had literally just started writing a subclass of Observer

class OurBroker(Broker):
    plotinfo = dict(plot=False, subplot=True)

Very complicated :)

Nothing would prevent you from directly monkey-patching the existing observer classes or replace them in the modules with your own subclasses, but imho, it is better to use addobserver.
