Could simplicity win against complexity in EA programming?

Can two EAs control a trade on the same symbol (different charts)?
I'm wondering if it's possible to have two EAs with the same magic number running on two different charts but on the same symbol. I'd like to know if this would make both EAs watch the same trades. The idea is to make the 2nd advisor employ extra money management features while I don't have access

Facing difficulty trying to overlay a line plot on top of Color Candles (in the separate window)

Is it not possible to do what I'm
The best way to freeze a signal so the signal doesn't repaint
I have a signal indicator that should make an arrow on the LL or HH for any timeframe, but it repaints frantically like a rabid racoon on crack cocaine. One idea to stop something repainting is to take the initial signal it found and force it to remain with some boolean logic, another idea would be
