We discussed a few ways to "toggle off" studies - these aren't direct methods, so they have their downsides.

METHOD 1 -> Save / Load Chart Settings:
1) Setup the chart exactly like you want, then right-click the chart -> Save Settings -> Save it to the DAS folder with a name you'll remember, example "TestStudysOn.cst"
2) Now remove the study you want to hide (toggle off), then right-click the chart -> Save Settings -> Save it to the DAS folder with a name you'll remember, example "TestStudysOff.cst"
3) Create a hotkey for "Toggle Study On" (you can name it whatever), with the script:     

LoadSetting TestStudysOn.cst;      

4) Create another hotkey for "Toggle Study Off", with the script:

LoadSetting TestStudysOff.cst;

5) Use those hotkeys with the specific chart selected to toggle the study on/off. Just remember, current zoom won't carry over, and if you alter settings of any studies (or the chart configuration) 
you'll need to remember to update it in both .cst files.

-----

METHOD 2 -> Duplicate The Chart Window, then click to swap between the two (slightly overlap them):

1) Go into the hotkey editor and create a hotkey script for: 

DuplicateWindow;

2) Select the chart and hit that hotkey. It'll spawn an exact duplicate of the window you selected. Now just remove the study you don't want to be active.





AS a side note, remember that if the Pivot Point study is "squishing" the chart view, you can toggle this off by going to the Study Config, selecting the study, hitting the "ConfigEx" 
button below the studies box, and then unchecking "Include in Scale." This is a commmon thing most users don't realize exists.
