Alexander Antoshkin:

I also took the code of the button from the examples, .... How to make button's pressing not fixed, i.e. after its function is executed it returns to its initial state.

As far as buttons are concerned, here is an example from the help:

Please advise such a point:

1. EA + indicator is running

2. The connection to the server is disconnected and all indicator rendering is lost, the data it provides remains.

Can you suggest where to read about it and/or what happens when the connection is lost, why the drawing is lost, but the data remains. Is it possible to redraw it again?

Thanks in advance!

Please advise such a point:

2. The connection to the server is broken and all the rendering of the indicator disappears, the data it provides remains.

Thanks in advance!

Start with the indicator - namely, what happens in OnCalculate() when the "rates_total" parameter is "0":

The first rates_total parameter contains the number of bars available to the indicator for calculation and corresponds to the number of bars available in the chart.

Note the connection between the value returned by OnCalculate() and the second input parameter prev_calculated. The prev_calculated parameter in the function call contains a valuereturned by OnCalculate() onprevious call. This allows for economical algorithms for calculating the custom indicator in order to avoid repeated calculations for those bars that haven't changed since the previous call of this function.

For this, it is usually enough to return the value of the rates_total parameter, which contains the number of bars in the current function call. If since the last call of OnCalculate() price data have changed (a deeper history was pumped or history blanks were filled), then the value of the input parameter prev_calculated will be set to zero by the terminal.

Karputov Vladimir:

If it's about buttons, here's an example from the help:

Note: Button1 and Button2 are non-lockable, but Button3 is lockable.

This is not a good example:

1 because libraries

2 because it is made by a panel

3 because you don't understand it.

I have sketched two buttons, one is fixed and the other needs to be unlocked - "Add" which needs to be unlocked
