Alert: RSI_Window_Name is Wrong
Hallo all together,
I'm a mql4-beginner and I have a problem to place an indicator in the RSI(3) window.
After MT4-Reboot comes always this message:
Alert: RSI_Window_Name is Wrong
I'm playing with 2 free Indicators: Lawgirl's Trend Display v1.02.mq4 and RSI with period = 3.
Lawgirl's-indi shows a table with many currencies pairs and arrows for PA-Direction from RSI(3) in different Time frames.
The user can place Lawgirl's-Indicator as full table or as only a row for active currency pair in main windows or in RSI windows .
User can choose this in the properties of Lawgirl's-indicator:
For main windows: IndicatorInRSIWindow = false
For RSI(3) windows: IndicatorInRSIWindow = thrue
It works perfectly at the beginning, but does not work after MT4-Rebooting.
MT4 does not know this RSI(3) name more.
This name RSI(3) is wrote always in the properties of indicator.
Lawgirl's Trend Display has this code:
How can I check this RSI-name in MT4?
May be I need another RSI-Indicator,
I have 2 demo accounts be IG and by GKFX,
both RSI does not work with Lawgirl's-indi.
Could anybody help me?
Thanks & sorry for my bad English

if(WindowNo < 0)
Thanks for replay,
you are right and your answer is correct.
This code does its job well:
if(WindowNo < 0)
and make an ALLERT after as this function returns -1.
But it does not solve my problem....
After new start MT4 does not know the name of RSI_WondowName
and can't find my RSI-Indicator.
This is the problem.
WindowNo = WindowFind(RSI_WindowName)
it's =-1 after reboot of MT4.
Perhaps I need to install another RSI-indicator, from any other platform
not from GKFX or IG.
Cann anybody check this indi with RSI together on your MT4-System?

If you want help you can at least provide a click-able link.
Or even better, upload the code here yourself.
Sorry!!

After new start MT4 does not know the name of RSI_WondowName
and can't find my RSI-Indicator.
This is the problem.
it's =-1 after reboot of MT4.
Because the indicator window is not yet created. You need to check and place your code to be executed when you are sure the window is created.
Also I suggest you to use ChartWindowFind() instead of WindowFind().
is it correect?
window=ChartWindowFind(0,RSI_WindowName);
if(window==-1) Print(__FUNCTION__+"(): Error = ",GetLastError()); } //--- return(window);
