How to hide default strategy markings

I have a comment in my strategy (need that for my custom alert). But it displays the comment on the graph. Any way for me to hide comment, price, and those arrows. I don't think I'm calling plot or label anywhere...

enter image description here

The reason I want to do this is because I want to create nice custom labels. For instance:

// Check if the strategy opened a long position
longNow = (strategy.position_size[1] <= 0) and (strategy.position_size > 0)
// Look if the strategy went long from a short position
longFromShort = (strategy.position_size[1] < 0) and (strategy.position_size > 0)
// See if the strategy went long from being flat
// at the end of the previous bar
longFromFlat = (strategy.position_size[1] == 0) and (strategy.position_size > 0)
 // See if strategy is short now, from long or flat earlier
shortNow = (strategy.position_size[1] >= 0) and (strategy.position_size < 0)
// See if strategy went short from no market position earlier
shortFromFlat = (strategy.position_size[1] == 0) and (strategy.position_size < 0)
// See if strategy is flat now (from a market position earlier)
flatNow = (strategy.position_size[1] != 0) and (strategy.position_size == 0)
// Check if strategy went flat from previous long position
flatFromLong = (strategy.position_size[1] > 0) and (strategy.position_size == 0)
// See if strategy went from flat to short position
flatFromShort = (strategy.position_size[1] < 0) and (strategy.position_size == 0)

// green arrow
if longNow
    myLabel2 = label.new(x=bar_index, y=low - 0.5 * tr, text=tostring(strategy.position_avg_price), color=color.green, textcolor=color.black, style=label.style_labelup)

But now my nice green labels are overlayed with the comment: enter image description here

--update based on Andrey D's answer:

Using alert_message I can keep the comments empty. Still the position size shows on the graph per default.

Is this really the only somewhat ok solution for hiding the quantity without needing to uncheck it in the styles?: Hide trades on chart, quantity and signal labels in code tradingview

I'll just add that for pinescript v5, this is the correct code: var bool UnHideCode = input(false, title="Un Hide Code")

Then the rest of the code is the same for all pine versions so far: if(LongSignal and UnHideCode) strategy.entry("Buy - Long Term", long=true)

You can use the alert_message parameter and {{alert_message}} placeholder in your alerts.
