Introduction

Continuing the topic of creating templates for technical indicators in Expert Advisors and indicators, which started in the article related to the creation of a dashboard and then developed in three more articles, in which we considered oscillators, volume indicators and Bill Williams, and trend indicators, today we will begin the topic of creating multi-symbol, multi-period indicators. These include indicators which run on the current chart but are calculated using the data from other symbols and (or) other chart timeframes. We will create one base multi-indicator class and a set of classes based on the types of all standard indicators. We will also create a class for the custom indicator, with which it will be possible to "turn" any indicator into a multi-symbol and multi-period one. For all indicator classes, we will create one common collection class. All indicators created in the program will be placed into this collection. Also, it will be possible to access any of the created indicators using the methods of the collection to obtain the relevant indicator data. The ultimate goal is to produce a convenient tool for creating multi-indicators and working with their data.

Basic principles

To properly understand the logic of indicator operations, let's try to understand how it all works. The indicator has two parts: calculation and plotting. Each of these parts knows nothing about the other. When creating an indicator, the terminal subsystem looks for the presence of such an indicator on the chart. In this case, it looks for an indicator with the same name and parameters. If such an indicator is already running on the chart or has been created programmatically for this chart, then the terminal will use the handle of the existing indicator rather than creating a new one. The plotting part of the indicator receives the required data from the calculation part using its handle. There may be a situation where several plotting parts simultaneously access one calculation part.

The buffer of the calculation part stores the data of the calculated indicator in an array with the data arranged from present to past. The data at index 0 of the buffer array corresponds to the current chart data:

Each cell of the array stores the data of one bar, corresponding to the time series bar of the symbol/period for which the indicator is calculated. Accordingly, in order to obtain data from the buffer of the indicator's calculation part and display it on the chart of another symbol/timeframe, you need to calculate the bar number on the chart corresponding to the time of the bar in the buffer array of the calculation part. The obtained data should be written into the plotting part buffer so that all bars of the current chart that match the opening of the bar in the calculation part buffer are added to the corresponding cells of the plotting buffer.

For example, one bar on a five-minute chart period corresponds to five bars on a one-minute chart. All these five bars of the one-minute chart must be filled with the value of the five-minute bar that corresponds to them in time. A similar algorithm is used to render data from lower periods on a higher-timeframe chart. In this case, all bars from the cells of the calculation part buffer, corresponding to the time of the bar on the higher TF chart, are plotted on one bar of the plotting buffer.

Of course, the readings might not be precisely accurate, since eventually this bar will represent only the data from the last lower TF bar, which matches the time of the corresponding higher TF bar. Everything here depends on the direction of receiving data from the calculation part buffer of the lower timeframe, that the data received last will be plotted on the bar of the higher-timeframe chart.

The CopyBuffer() function obtains the data from the buffer of the calculated indicator:

The function receives the data of the specified indicator buffer in the specified quantity into the 'buffer' array.

The elements of the copied data (indicator buffer with index buffer_num) are counted from the starting position, from the present to the past, that is, the starting position equal to 0 means the current bar (the indicator value for the current bar).

If the amount of data to be copied is not known in advance, it is advisable to use a dynamic array as the destination array buffer[], since CopyBuffer() tries to distribute the size of the receiving array to the amount of the copied data. If the receiving array buffer[] is an indicator buffer (an array previously assigned by the SetIndexBufer() function for storing indicator values), then partial copying is allowed.

If you need to partially copying the indicator values into another array (not the indicator buffer), you should use an intermediate array into which the required quantity is copied. From this intermediate array, copy the required number of values member by member, to the required places of the receiving array.

If you need to copy a predetermined amount of data, it is recommended to use a statically allocated buffer to avoid unnecessary memory reallocation.

The property of the receiving array, i.e. as_series=true or as_series=false, will be ignored: during copying, the oldest element will be copied to the beginning of the physical memory allocated for the array. There are three function options.

Access by the initial position and the number of required elements

int  CopyBuffer(
   int       indicator_handle,     // indicator handle
   int       buffer_num,           // indicator buffer index
   int       start_pos,            // starting point 
   int       count,                // amount to copy
   double    buffer[]              // array the data to be copied to
   );

Access by the initial date and the number of required elements

int  CopyBuffer(
   int       indicator_handle,     // indicator handle
   int       buffer_num,           // indicator buffer index
   datetime  start_time,           // starting date
   int       count,                // amount to copy
   double    buffer[]              // array the data to be copied to
   );

Access by the initial and final dates of the required time interval

int  CopyBuffer(
   int       indicator_handle,     // indicator handle
   int       buffer_num,           // indicator buffer index
   datetime  start_time,           // starting date
   datetime  stop_time,            // end date
   double    buffer[]              // array the data to be copied to
   );

Parameters

indicator_handle

[in] Indicator handle obtained by the relevant indicator function.

buffer_num

[in] Number of the indicator buffer.

start_pos

[in] Index of the first copied element.

count

[in] Number of copied elements.

start_time

[in] Bar time corresponding to the first element.

stop_time

[in] Bar time corresponding to the last element.

buffer[]

[out] Array of double type.

Return Value

The number of the copied array elements or -1 in case of an error.

Note

When requesting data from an indicator, the function immediately returns -1 if requested timeseries are not constructed yet or they should be downloaded from the server. In this case, the downloading or construction of the required data is initiated.

When requesting data from an EA or a script, download from the server is initiated if the terminal does not have the appropriate data locally. Optionally, construction of the necessary timeseries starts if the data can be constructed from the local history but it is not ready yet. The function returns the amount that will be ready by the time the timeout expires.

We will use the first version of the function, that is, access based on the starting position (y the loop index) and the number of required elements.

The object structure will be as follows:

The base class of a multi-symbol, multi-period indicator containing the main functionality common to all indicators;
Classes derived from the base object, which describe each indicator by its type;
A collection of indicators – you can use this class to create any indicators and add them to the collection. The class will provide the user with all the tools for creating indicators and receiving data from them.

When working with data from a non-current chart, to avoid the release of the timeseries, you should access this timeseries at least once every two minutes. In this case, the timeseries will be "retained" which will speed up access to it (there will be no need to wait for data synchronization each time). In the class constructor, we will perform the first call of the timeseries on which the indicator is built. This will allow us to start downloading the timeseries (if there is no access to it locally). Then, once every 90 seconds, in the base class timer, we will access the timeseries to hold it.

Resource-efficient computations

To calculate and display the indicator, we need a resource-efficient computations. The indicator will be calculated for all historical data upon the first launch, and will then be calculated for one 0r two bars for all subsequent ticks.

The OnCalculate() handler has predefined constant variables which store the input data size (of a timeseries or array) and the amount of data calculated during the previous OnCalculate() call:

Calculation based on data array

int  OnCalculate(
   const int        rates_total,       // price[] array size
   const int        prev_calculated,   // number of processed bars at the previous call
   const int        begin,             // index number in the price[] array meaningful data starts from
   const double&    price[]            // array of values for calculation
   );

Calculations based on the current timeframe timeseries

int  OnCalculate(
   const int        rates_total,       // size of input timeseries
   const int        prev_calculated,   // number of processed bars at the previous call
   const datetime&  time{},            // Time array
   const double&    open[],            // Open array
   const double&    high[],            // High array
   const double&    low[],             // Low array
   const double&    close[],           // Close array
   const long&      tick_volume[],     // Tick Volume array
   const long&      volume[],          // Real Volume array
   const int&       spread[]           // Spread array
   );

The presence of such data enables a quick, efficient calculation of the indicator. For example, let's consider the calculation for the 'limit' value:

//--- Number of bars for calculation
   int limit=rates_total-prev_calculated;
//--- If limit > 1, then this is the first calculation or change in the history
   if(limit>1)
     {
      //--- specify all the available history for calculation
      limit=rates_total-1;
      //--- If the indicator has any buffers, initialize them here with empty values set for these buffers
     }

When the indicator is launched for the first time, we have the timeseries size (rates_total) and the amount of calculated data on the last call (prev_calculated). The value of previously calculated bars at the first launch is zero as the indicator has not yet been calculated. Thus, the 'limit' value will be greater than 1 (it will be equal to the number of available bars minus zero). With this value, we specify 'limit' equal to rates_total-1 - the entire available history for calculation. In this case, we additionally need to first remove all previously plotted data from the indicator buffers, for example:

ArrayInitialize(Buffer,EMPTY_VALUE);

After this, the entire history will be calculated in the main loop, which is run from 'limit' to zero inclusive:

   for(int i=limit;i>=0;i--)
     {
      // Calculating indicator at each bar of the loop (i)
     }

Please note that with this calculation method, all arrays used in calculations and the indicator buffer itself must have the flag of indexing as timeseries:

ArraySetAsSeries(array,true);

If the calculated 'limit' is equal to 1, then this means the opening of a new bar on the chart: the indicator will calculate the first and zero bars of the timeseries in a loop from 1 to 0 inclusive.

If the calculated 'limit' is equal to 0, then this means operation on the current tick: the indicator will only calculate the zero bar of the timeseries in a loop from 0 to 0 inclusive.

If you need to calculate from the zero bar deep into the historical data (so as not to expand time series arrays and buffers), then the loop will be reversed:

   int i=fmax(0, prev_calculated-1);
   for(;i<rates_total;i++)
     {
      // Calculating indicator at each bar of the loop (i)
     }

It is quite easy to run resource-efficient computations on the current chart. But what if you need data not from the current chart? When will you copy the entire data array from the calculation part, and when only the last one or two bars?

Here we will use functions Bars() and BarsCalculated(). These are analogues of the predefined constant indicator variables rates_total and prev_calculated. They return the number of bars for the specified symbol/period and the amount of data calculated by the indicator. Since the indicator is constructed for the symbol/period specified at its creation moment, the amount of calculated data also refers to this symbol/period. We get the indicator by its handle.

Based on the fact that we can calculate how many bars we need to copy for any symbol/period (so as not to copy the entire array at each tick), we will create in the indicator base class exactly the same construction as for the current symbol/period:

limit=rates_total-prev_calculated;

But variables 'limit', 'rates_total' and 'prev_calculated' will be private members of the class and will receive value form the Bars() and BarsCalculated() functions. The 'limit' value will be calculated on each tick, and if it is zero, then only the data of the last two data bars (current and previous bars) will be copied. If 'limit' is equal to 1, then this means the opening of a new bar on the indicator symbol/period, and you need to increase the array by 1 and then copy the data from the indicator buffer - also two. When 'limit' is greater than one, the entire array is copied from the indicator's calculation part buffer to the receiving array buffer of the class, since it is considered that this is either the first launch or a change in history.

This logic applies to the trading day, when ticks arrive.

A holiday requires a different approach. This is an isolated case. There are no ticks here, the Bars() function very often returns zero, and the number of calculated indicator bars is not recorded, i.e., is also zero. If there is any error in the source data used for calculation, the indicator should return zero. This means that it waits until the next tick and tries to calculate again. But on a holiday, there is no tick except the first launch.

On the first launch, the indicator will first clear the buffer arrays and then calculate. But the calculation may fail due to insufficient data for calculation, or simply because prev_calculated will return a zero value. And the indicator will exit OnCalculate(), returning zero again. Accordingly, if you update the chart via a right-click menu, , which is considered as a tick emulation, the indicator will again see that it was calculated with an error, and will again initialize the buffers, considering that this is the first launch. This behavior will continue, and the plotting buffer data just rendered on the chart will be constantly erased... There is a solution though.

If at the first launch it was not possible to immediately calculate the indicator, then you can wait 20 - 30 seconds for the next tick and emulate the tick programmatically. This can be done using the ChartSetSymbolPeriod() function. If you call it and specify the current chart symbol/period, this will cause a recalculation of indicators running on the chart. Thus, you can calculate the indicator on the chart even if there are no ticks.

A twenty-second wait is quite enough to load the required history for the indicator symbol/period and calculate it. But we need a flag that the indicator has already been calculated (since prev_calculated returns zero), and if we do not set the calculation success flag, the indicator will again clear its buffers. Therefore, we can understand that the indicator has been successfully calculated by simply seeing that the number of calculated bars for the indicator object is equal to the number of bars on its symbol/period. If Bars() returns zero, then we can find out in another way the available number of bars of the desired symbol/period (do not forget that we are talking about multi-symbol, multi-period indicators that are calculated in another indicator or Expert Advisor that runs on the current chart). In the SeriesInfoInteger() function, we can get the start and end dates of the available history of the symbol/period:

SeriesInfoInteger(symbol,period,SERIES_FIRSTDATE);      // The very first date for a period and symbol at the moment
SeriesInfoInteger(symbol,period,SERIES_LASTBAR_DATE);   // Time of opening the last bar for the period and symbol

From these two dates and the time series chart period, we can easily calculate the number of available bars even if Bars(symbol,period) or SeriesInfoInteger(symbol,period,SERIES_BARS_COUNT) returned zero.

After all the data has been received and the indicator has been calculated correctly, the calculation success flag is set. This flag is checked under the condition when limit > 1 (in this case, it is necessary to initialize the indicator buffer arrays with an "empty" value). At the first launch, the success flag is reset, the arrays are initialized and an attempt is made to calculate the indicator on a non-current chart symbol/period. If calculation failed, wait 20 seconds (according to a timer) for the next tick.

If it is a weekend, then there will be no tick, and after 20 seconds a command is sent to set the current symbol and period for the chart to emulate a tick. When restarting the indicator in the timer (after 20 seconds), the data should already be loaded and the indicator should be calculated without errors. The calculation success flag is set in this case. The next time the timer is activated, this flag is checked and, if it is set, the tick is not emulated. There are three such attempts to render indicator buffers. After three attempts, the success flag is forcibly set, and attempts to emulate the tick are stopped. If the indicator could not calculate for three emulated ticks, then only manually action is possible: either refresh using the right-click menu or switch the chart timeframe back and forth to go through the entire tick emulation process with data loading again.

That's the theory. Let's proceed to practice: creating classes of multi-indicators.

Base class of the MSTF indicator

In the terminal folder \MQL5\Include\IndMSTF\, let's create a new file IndMSTF.mqh for the CIndMSTF class. The class must be inherited from the Standard Library base object CObject. The base object file must be connected to the created new class file:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//|                                                      IndMSTF.mqh |
//|                                  Copyright 2023, MetaQuotes Ltd. |

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
#property copyright "Copyright 2023, MetaQuotes Ltd."
#property link      "https://www.mql5.com"
#property version   "1.00"
//--- includes
#include <Object.mqh>
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Base class of the multi-symbol multi-period indicator            |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
class CIndMSTF : public CObject
  {
private:

protected:

public:
//--- Constructor/destructor
                     CIndMSTF();
                    ~CIndMSTF();
  };

Before we add methods to various sections of the class, let's add some macro substitutions, enumerations and the structure of the indicator buffer.

We will need a second timer that will track two periods of time:

90 seconds, after which we will turn to timeseries of indicators calculated not on the current symbol/period;
20 seconds, after which we will emulate a tick to plot the indicator on weekends.

Let's enter macro substitutions to set the waiting time for these two periods of time:

//--- includes
#include <Object.mqh>
//--- defines
#define TIMER_COUNT_1   (90)  // Timer 1 size. Must not be more than two minutes (120)
#define TIMER_COUNT_2   (20)  // Timer 2 size. Too small values quickly trigger tick emulation, which is not desirable in an active market

Different standard indicators in the client terminal belong to different categories. In order for us to sort the created indicators by category or create lists of indicators related to any category, let's write an enumeration of different indicator categories:

//--- defines
#define TIMER_COUNT_1   (90)  // Timer 1 size. Must not be more than two minutes (120)
#define TIMER_COUNT_2   (20)  // Timer 2 size. Too small values quickly trigger tick emulation, which is not desirable in an active market
//--- enums
enum ENUM_IND_CATEGORY        // Indicator categories
  {
   IND_CATEGORY_NONE,         // Not set
   IND_CATEGORY_TREND,        // Trend
   IND_CATEGORY_OSCILLATOR,   // Oscillators
   IND_CATEGORY_VOLUME,       // Volume
   IND_CATEGORY_WILLIAMS,     // Bill Williams
   IND_CATEGORY_CUSTOM,       // Custom
  };

About sorting, searching and filtering

Each indicator object will have properties that can be used to find the desired indicator. To understand that indicators are identocal, we need to compare their key properties: symbol, chart period and values of all input parameters. If at least one value of the properties being compared is different, then the indicators are not identical. If the indicators are equal, a new one will not be created, but a pointer to the previously created one with the same parameters will be returned. This concerns the collection of indicators. Regarding properties, we need to create an enumeration that will contain constants of some properties that can be set to a successfully created indicator and can then be used to find that indicator:

enum ENUM_COMPARE_MODE        // Comparison mode
  {
   // By default, the comparison mode is set to zero, which compares all properties
   COMPARE_MODE_HANDLE=1,     // Compare by handle
   COMPARE_MODE_SYMBOL,       // Compare by symbol
   COMPARE_MODE_TIMEFRAME,    // Compare by chart period
   COMPARE_MODE_ID,           // Compare by ID
   COMPARE_MODE_DESCRIPTION,  // Compare by custom description
   COMPARE_MODE_CATEGORY,     // Compare by category
  };

Each successfully created indicator has a handle by which it can be accessed. This is a unique number assigned to the calculation part of the indicator. The handle values of the created indicators start from 10 and increase by 1 for each subsequent value.

The remaining properties are not unique and may be inherent in different indicators. Searching using these values is provided here for convenience only. For example, you can set a unique description for an indicator, and then refer to it by this description.

Descriptions of indicator line states were discussed earlier in previous articles on indicators. Here we will also use this enumeration:

enum ENUM_LINE_STATE          // Indicator line state
  {
   LINE_STATE_NONE,           // Undefined
   LINE_STATE_UP,             // Upward
   LINE_STATE_DOWN,           // Downward
   LINE_STATE_TURN_UP,        // Upward reversal
   LINE_STATE_TURN_DOWN,      // Downward reversal
   LINE_STATE_STOP_UP,        // Upward stop
   LINE_STATE_STOP_DOWN,      // Downward stop
   LINE_STATE_ABOVE,          // Above value
   LINE_STATE_BELOW,          // Below value
   LINE_STATE_CROSS_UP,       // Upward value crossing
   LINE_STATE_CROSS_DOWN,     // Downward value crossing
   LINE_STATE_TOUCH_BELOW,    // Touching value from below
   LINE_STATE_TOUCH_ABOVE,    // Touching value from above
   LINE_STATE_EQUALS,         // Equal to value
  };

For furthre details please refer to the article on oscillator indicators, in the ATR indicator parameters section.

Each indicator will signal the result of its calculation using error code:

enum ENUM_ERR_TYPE            // Indicator calculation error type
  {
   ERR_TYPE_NO_ERROR,         // No error
   ERR_TYPE_NO_CYNC,          // Data not synchronized
   ERR_TYPE_NO_DATA,          // Data not loaded
   ERR_TYPE_NO_CALC,          // Calculation not completed
  };

Using this code, it will be possible to determine from the outside what action is required to handle the error.

Indicator buffers

Here we need to decide where do buffers belong.

Buffer of the calculation part. When we create an indicator, it is created in memory. This is the calculation part of the indicator. It has its own buffers, which are managed by the terminal subsystem. You can access the calculation part using the handle, which is returned after successful creation of the indicator. The buffer of a successfully created and calculated indicator always contains the data that corresponds to the timeseries on which the indicator was calculated. The data in this buffer is located so that the zero index corresponds to the current bar of the timeseries on which the indicator is calculated.
To copy data from the buffer of the calculation part of the indicator, we use the CopyBuffer() function.
Buffer of the indicator object. Each of the created multi-indicator class objects will have its own buffer arrays according to the number of buffers of this indicator. Data from the calculation part buffer will be placed in these arrays. Buffers of the indicator object will be managed inside the class object, in which they will be initialized, increased in size in accordance with the size of the timeseries on which the indicator is created, and updated on each new tick. When copying data into the indicator object array from the calculation part buffer using CopyBufer(), the data will be arranged so that the current bar will be located at the end of the array (ArraySize()-1).
Buffer of the indicator plotting part. Each indicator object can be created both in an Expert Advisor and in a custom indicator. When creating multi-indicators in Expert Advisors, to calculate the indicators, we call the method that calculates the indicator, and to obtain the calculated data, we access the desired buffer index of the indicator object. In the case of a custom indicator, we also need to plot data from the multi-indicators on the chart. That is why here we also have a plotting buffer. This buffer is assigned assigned as plotting in a custom indicator. It will display data stored in the buffers of indicator objects. To display lines on a chart, it will be enough to simply call the method of the indicator collection class from the custom indicator, which calculates the indicators, and then, if the calculation is successful, to call the method that will place the buffer data of the indicator object in the plotting buffer of the custom indicator.

In the indicator object, one buffer will be represented by a structure containing both the dynamic array itself and the controls for this array:

//--- struct
struct SBuffer                // Structure of the indicator buffer
  {
   double            array[];    // Indicator buffer array
   double            init_value; // Initializing value
   int               shift;      // Horizontal shift of the buffer
   string            descript;   // Buffer description
   //--- (1) Sets, (2) returns the initializing value,
   void              SetInitValue(const double value) { init_value=value;                             }
   double            InitValue(void)                  { return init_value;                            }
   //--- (1) Sets, (2) returns the buffer offset
   void              SetShift(const int value)        { shift=value;                                  }
   int               Shift(void)                      { return shift;                                 }
//--- (1) Resizes the buffer array, (2) returns the size of the buffer array,
//--- (3) initializes the array with the set "empty" value
   bool              BuffResize(const int new_size)   { return(ArrayResize(array,new_size)==new_size);}
   uint              BufferSize(void)                 { return array.Size();                          }
   int               InitBuffer(void)                 { return ArrayInitialize(array,init_value);     }
  };

Some values set externally, for example, when creating an indicator, need to be saved somewhere in order to later know what these values were. The easiest way is to write them directly into the structure. This is what we do here: the "empty" buffer value set from the calling program is saved in the buffer structure in the init_value variable. The shift of the indicator line, which is set when creating the calculation part of the indicator, can also be saved here, so that later you can know it inside the class object; it is saved in the 'shift' variable. The description of the buffer is also saved here. This description is set automatically when creating the calculation part of the indicator, corresponding to the name of the buffer for the same standard indicator. This description can be changed later.

Functions returning descriptions of the indicator line state and errors when calculating the indicator are necessary only for logging the states of indicator lines and errors during their initialization and calculation or displaying them on the information panel:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Return the indicator line state description                      |

     }
  }

      case ERR_TYPE_NO_CALC   :  return "Calculation not completed";
      default                 :  return "No error";
     }
  }

The required preparatory work has been done. Let's proceed to the object class of a multi-symbol multi-period indicator.

Let's write in the body of the class all the private, protected and public variables and methods necessary for the class to work, and then consider their purpose and implementation:

  };

The purpose of each variable and methods is commented here in the class code. Let's consider the implementation of methods.

Class constructor:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Constructor                                                      |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
CIndMSTF::CIndMSTF(const ENUM_INDICATOR type,const uint buffers,const string symbol,const ENUM_TIMEFRAMES timeframe)
  {
//--- Start the timer
   ::ResetLastError();
   if(!::EventSetTimer(1))
      ::PrintFormat("%s: EventSetTimer failed. Error %lu",__FUNCTION__,::GetLastError());
//--- Set properties to the values passed to the constructor or to default values
   this.m_program=(ENUM_PROGRAM_TYPE)::MQLInfoInteger(MQL_PROGRAM_TYPE);
   this.m_type=type;
   this.m_symbol=(symbol==NULL || symbol=="" ? ::Symbol() : symbol);
   this.m_timeframe=(timeframe==PERIOD_CURRENT ? ::Period() : timeframe);
   this.m_handle=INVALID_HANDLE;
   this.m_digits=::Digits();
   this.m_success=true;
   this.m_type_err=ERR_TYPE_NO_ERROR;
//--- Set the size of the buffer structure array to the number of indicator buffers
   ::ResetLastError();
   if(::ArrayResize(this.m_buffers,buffers)!=buffers)
      ::PrintFormat("%s: Buffers ArrayResize failed. Error  %lu"__FUNCTION__,::GetLastError());
//--- Set the "empty" value for each buffer by default (can be changed it later)
   for(int i=0;i<(int)this.m_buffers.Size();i++)
      this.SetBufferInitValue(i,EMPTY_VALUE);
//--- Set initial values of variables involved in resource-efficient calculation of the indicator
   this.m_prev_calculated=0;
   this.m_limit=0;
   this.m_rates_total=::Bars(this.m_symbol,this.m_timeframe);
//--- If the indicator is calculated on non-current chart, request data from the required chart
//--- (the first access to data starts data pumping)
   datetime array[];
   if(symbol!=::Symbol() || timeframe!=::Period())
      ::CopyTime(this.m_symbol,this.m_timeframe,0,this.m_rates_total,array);
  }

The type of indicator, the number of its buffers, the name of the symbol and the chart timefame are passed to the class constructor. Next, the variables are set to default values, the size of the buffer array is set, and the buffer arrays are given a default initializing value as EMPTY_VALUE. If the indicator object is calculated on the non-current chart, then at the end of the constructor we call a function that starts downloading from the server the timeseries data on which the indicator is calculated.

The class destructor:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Destructor                                                       |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
CIndMSTF::~CIndMSTF()
  {
//--- Delete timer
   ::EventKillTimer();
//--- Release indicator handle
   ::ResetLastError();
   if(this.m_handle!=INVALID_HANDLE && !::IndicatorRelease(this.m_handle))
      ::PrintFormat("%s: %s, handle %ld IndicatorRelease failed. Error %ld",__FUNCTION__,this.Title(),m_handle,::GetLastError());
//--- Free up the memory of buffer arrays
   for(int i=0;i<(int)this.BuffersTotal();i++)
      ::ArrayFree(this.m_buffers[i].array);
  }

In the class destructor, we destroy the timer, release the indicator handle and free the memory of the buffer arrays.

Timer:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Timer                                                            |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void CIndMSTF::OnTimer(void)
  {
//--- If the indicator symbol and timeframe match those of the current chart, exit
   if(this.Symbol()==::Symbol() && this.Timeframe()==::Period())
      return;
//--- Declare time counter variable
   static int count1=0;
   static int count2=0;
//--- If the counter of timer 1 has reached the specified value,
   if(count1>=TIMER_COUNT_1)
     {
      //--- call the CopyTime function (timeseries hold) and reset the counter
      datetime array[1];
      ::CopyTime(this.m_symbol,this.m_timeframe,0,1,array);
      count1=0;
     }
//--- If the counter of timer 2 has reached the specified value
   if(count2>=TIMER_COUNT_2)
     {
      static int count=0;
      //--- if the previous indicator calculation failed, emulate a tick and print the relevant log
      if(!this.m_success)
        {
         if(::ChartSetSymbolPeriod(0,::Symbol(),::Period()))
           {
            count++;
            ::PrintFormat("%s::%s: Tick emulation. Attempt %ld of 3 ...",__FUNCTION__,this.Title(),count);
            if(count>2)
              {
               count=0;
               this.m_success=true;
              }
           }
        }
      //--- reset the counter
      count2=0;
     }
//--- Increase timer counters
   count1++;
   count2++;
  }

The class timer contains two counters: one for maintaining the indicator's timeseries, and the second for emulating ticks on weekends. If the indicator is calculated using data of the current chart symbol/timeframe, the timer is not used.

The indicator object itself is not an indicator. It is just a wrapper over the calculation part of the indicator, allowing you to manage it, receive data from it and pass data to the program. In the multi-indicator object, we need to create the indicator itself. To do this, we use the method for creating the calculation part of the indicator, which returns the handle received during creation:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Creates an indicator, returns a handle                           |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int CIndMSTF::CreateIndicator(void)
  {
//--- Create indicator name to print to logs
   string name=::StringFormat("%s(%s,%s)",::StringSubstr(::EnumToString(this.m_type),4),this.m_symbol,this.TimeframeDescription());
//--- Create the calculation part of the indicator
   ::ResetLastError();
   this.m_handle=::IndicatorCreate(this.m_symbol,this.m_timeframe,this.m_type,this.m_param.Size(),this.m_param);
//--- If the calculation part is not created, log a message about the failed creation of the indicator
   if(this.m_handle==INVALID_HANDLE)
      ::PrintFormat("%s: Failed to create indicator handle %s. Error %ld",__FUNCTION__,name,::GetLastError());
//--- If the indicator is created, set non-timeseries indexing of indicator arrays
   else
      this.SetAsSeriesOff();
//--- Return the handle of the created indicator or -1 if unsuccessful
   return this.m_handle;
  }

Buffers of an indicator object are dynamic arrays inside the buffer structure we discussed above. Their size should be changed to accommodate the ever-growing amount of new data. There are two methods for this: a method for changing the size of the specified buffer array and for changing the size of all buffers of the indicator object at once.

Method that resizes the specified indicator buffer:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Resize the specified indicator buffer                            |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
bool CIndMSTF::BufferResize(const uint buffer_num,const int new_buff_size)
  {
//--- Validate the buffer number passed to the method and, if the number is incorrect, print a message to the log and return 'false'
   if(buffer_num>this.BuffersTotal()-1)
     {
      string buff_limit=(this.BuffersTotal()==1 ? "0" : "0 - "+string(this.BuffersTotal()-1));
      ::PrintFormat("%s: Invalid buffer number passed (%lu). Value must be %s",__FUNCTION__,buffer_num,buff_limit);
      return false;
     }
//--- Resize the buffer
   ::ResetLastError();
   bool res=this.m_buffers[buffer_num].BuffResize(new_buff_size);
//--- If unsuccessful, print a message to the log
   if(!res)
      ::PrintFormat("%s::%s: Buffer(%lu) resize failed. Error %lu",__FUNCTION__,this.Title(),buffer_num,::GetLastError());
//--- Return the result of resizing the buffer array
   return res;
  }

The method receives in parameter the number of the buffer whose array should be resized by the value also passed to the method. If the buffer number is specified incorrectly, a relevant message is logged and the method returns false.
If array resizing failed, a message is printed in the log. The buffer array resizing result is finally returned.

Method that resizes all indicator buffer:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Resize all indicator buffers                                     |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
bool CIndMSTF::BuffersResize(const int new_buff_size)
  {
//--- In a loop through all indicator buffers, add to the 'res' variable the resizing result of each next buffer
   bool res=true;
   int total=(int)this.BuffersTotal();
   for(int i=0;i<total;i++)
      res &=this.m_buffers[i].BuffResize(new_buff_size);
//--- Return the result of resizing all arrays of indicator buffers
   return res;
  }

Here, in a loop through all buffers of the indicator object, the result of resizing the next buffer array is added to the 'res' variable, the value of which is ultimately returned from the method.

Methods for initializing arrays of indicator object buffers are organized in a similar way.

Method that initializes the specified indicator buffer:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Initialize the specified indicator buffer                        |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
bool CIndMSTF::BufferInitialize(const uint buffer_num,const int new_buff_size)
  {
//--- Validate the buffer number passed to the method and, if the number is incorrect, print a message to the log and return 'false'
   if(buffer_num>this.BuffersTotal()-1)
     {
      string buff_limit=(this.BuffersTotal()==1 ? "0" : "0 - "+string(this.BuffersTotal()-1));
      ::PrintFormat("%s: Invalid buffer number passed (%lu). Value must be %s",__FUNCTION__,buffer_num,buff_limit);
      return false;
     }
//--- resizing the buffer array
   bool res=this.BufferResize(buffer_num,new_buff_size);
//--- If successfully resized, initialize the buffer with the set initializing value
   if(res)
      this.m_buffers[buffer_num].InitBuffer();
//--- Return the result
   return res;
  }

The correctness of the number of the initialized buffer is also checked here. The buffer is then set to a new size and, if resizing is successful, the array is initialized to the value set for this buffer.

Method that initializes all indicator buffers:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Initialize all indicator buffers                                 |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
bool CIndMSTF::BuffersInitialize(const int new_buff_size)
  {
//--- In a loop through all indicator buffers, add to the 'res' variable the resizing result of each next buffer
//--- If successfully resized, initialize the buffer with the set initializing value
   bool res=true;
   int total=(int)this.BuffersTotal();
   for(int i=0;i<total;i++)
     {
      res &=this.m_buffers[i].BuffResize(new_buff_size);
      if(res)
         this.m_buffers[i].InitBuffer();
     }
//--- Return the overall result
   return res;
  }

In a loop through all buffers of the indicator object, the result of resizing of the next buffer array is added to the 'res' variable. Upon successful resizing, the buffer is initialized to the initialization value set for it. The method returns the final state of the 'res' variable, which will have the false value if at least one of the buffers failed to initialize.

The remaining methods for setting and returning buffer values are identical to those discussed above:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Set the initializing value for the specified buffer              |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void CIndMSTF::SetBufferInitValue(const uint buffer_num,const double value)
  {
//--- Validate the buffer number passed to the method and, if the number is incorrect, print a message to the log and exit
   if(buffer_num>this.BuffersTotal()-1)
     {
      string buff_limit=(this.BuffersTotal()==1 ? "0" : "0 - "+string(this.BuffersTotal()-1));
      ::PrintFormat("%s: Invalid buffer number passed (%lu). Value must be %s",__FUNCTION__,buffer_num,buff_limit);
      return;
     }
//--- Set a new initializing value for the specified buffer
   this.m_buffers[buffer_num].SetInitValue(value);
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Return the initialization value of the specified buffer          |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
double CIndMSTF::BufferInitValue(const uint buffer_num) const
  {
//--- Validate the buffer number passed to the method and, if the number is incorrect, print a message to log
   if(buffer_num>this.BuffersTotal()-1)
     {
      string buff_limit=(this.BuffersTotal()==1 ? "0" : "0 - "+string(this.BuffersTotal()-1));
      ::PrintFormat("%s: Invalid buffer number passed (%lu). Value must be %s",__FUNCTION__,buffer_num,buff_limit);
      //--- If the indicator has buffers, return the initializing value of the first one, otherwise EMPTY_VALUE
      return(this.BuffersTotal()>0 ? this.BufferInitValue(0) : EMPTY_VALUE);
     }
//--- Return the initializing value of the requested buffer
   return this.m_buffers[buffer_num].InitValue();
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Sets the offset value for the specified buffer                   |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void CIndMSTF::SetBufferShift(const uint buffer_num,const int value)
  {
//--- Validate the buffer number passed to the method and, if the number is incorrect, print a message to the log and exit
   if(buffer_num>this.BuffersTotal()-1)
     {
      string buff_limit=(this.BuffersTotal()==1 ? "0" : "0 - "+string(this.BuffersTotal()-1));
      ::PrintFormat("%s: Invalid buffer number passed (%lu). Value must be %s",__FUNCTION__,buffer_num,buff_limit);
      return;
     }
//--- Set the offset value for the buffer
   this.m_buffers[buffer_num].SetShift(value);
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Return the offset value of the specified buffer                  |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
double CIndMSTF::BufferShift(const uint buffer_num) const
  {
//--- Validate the buffer number passed to the method and, if the number is incorrect, print a message to log
   if(buffer_num>this.BuffersTotal()-1)
     {
      string buff_limit=(this.BuffersTotal()==1 ? "0" : "0 - "+string(this.BuffersTotal()-1));
      ::PrintFormat("%s: Invalid buffer number passed (%lu). Value must be %s",__FUNCTION__,buffer_num,buff_limit);
      //--- If the indicator has buffers, return the shift value of the very first one, otherwise 0
      return(this.BuffersTotal()>0 ? this.m_buffers[0].Shift() : 0);
     }
//--- Return the offset value of the requested buffer
   return this.m_buffers[buffer_num].Shift();
  }

The logic of the methods is described in detail in the comments to the code.

Method for calculating indicator data. The calculated indicator (its calculated part) has a buffer containing all calculated indicator data. We need to copy data from the calculation part buffer into the buffer arrays of the indicator object. For this operation, we need to organize a resource-efficient calculation: we will copy the entire buffer only at the first start or when there is a change in historical data.

We discussed such a calculation above, and it should be organized in the calculation method of the indicator object. In case of errors, the method will return false, and the calling program will respond bu exiting the handler (OnTick in an Expert Advisor and OnCalculate in an indicator) before the next tick arrives. Errors that require a return from the method will be considered the beginning of downloading historical data, incomplete history downloading, incomplete indicator calculation, and errors in copying data from the calculation part buffer to the indicator object buffer. The method will write the error code to a variable so that the caller can read it and process it correctly.

The entire logic of the method is described in detail in the comments for each code block. The method is called from the program and, if it returns false, exit OnTick or OnCalculate before the next tick.

If the method completes without errors, then the indicator object's buffer will contain data ready for use. This data can be accessed using methods that will be discussed below.

Indicators have special methods for outputting data from the indicator object buffer filled by this method into the indicator plotting buffers. The methods output data to a drawing buffer either in the same form in which the data is written in the indicator object buffer, or taking into account the chart symbol/period. These methods can be used to display calculated data in an indicator object on the current chart.

The method logic is described in its listing in detail. The idea of the method is in the correctly calculation of current chart's bars that need to be filled with data from the indicator buffer array calculated on a different timeframe. The last parameter passed to the method is an array of a custom indicator plotting buffer, which should render the indicator calculated on a different symbol/period.

A method that returns the data of the specified buffer as is:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Return the data of the specified buffer as is                    |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
double CIndMSTF::GetData(const uint buffer_num,const int index) const
  {
//--- Validate the buffer number passed to the method and, if the number is incorrect, print a message to log
   if(buffer_num>this.BuffersTotal()-1)
     {
      string buff_limit=(this.BuffersTotal()==1 ? "0" : "0 - "+string(this.BuffersTotal()-1));
      ::PrintFormat("%s: Invalid buffer number passed (%lu). Value must be %s",__FUNCTION__,buffer_num,buff_limit);
      //--- If the indicator has buffers, return "empty" value of the first one, otherwise EMPTY_VALUE
      return(this.BuffersTotal()>0 ? this.BufferInitValue(0) : EMPTY_VALUE);
     }
//--- If an incorrect index is specified, return the "empty" value of the specified buffer
   if(index<0 || index>(int)this.DataTotal(buffer_num)-1)
      return this.BufferInitValue(buffer_num);
//--- Calculate the real index in the buffer array and return the value at this index
   int n=int(this.DataTotal(buffer_num)-1-index);
   return this.m_buffers[buffer_num].array[n];
  }

The method simply returns data from the indicator object buffer at the specified index.

Method that returns data of the specified buffer for the specified symbol/timeframe:

//+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Returns data from specified buffer for specified symbol/timeframe |
//+-------------------------------------------------------------------+

      return this.GetData(buffer_num,index);
//--- Find out which time of this class the current chart timeframe's bar, corresponding to the loop index, belongs to

   if(bar==WRONG_VALUE)
      return this.BufferInitValue(buffer_num);
//--- Return value from the indicator object buffer at the found index
   return this.GetData(buffer_num,bar);
  }

The method finds the bar index of the timeseries on which the indicator, corresponding to the chart symbol/period passed to the method, is calculated and returns data from the indicator object buffer at the found index.

The method that returns the state of the indicator line:

The method is used to obtain the state of the indicator object line relative to the current chart. If the indicator object is calculated using data from a higher timeframe relative to the current chart, then its line is "stretched" across the bars of the current chart. The method allows you to correctly obtain the state of the indicator line on the specified bar of the current chart.

The base class of the multi-symbol multi-period indicator object is ready. The class contains all the necessary capabilities for working with indicators constructed using on timeseries data that does not belong to the current chart.

To create different types of technical indicators, create derived classes from the newly created base one. In the constructors of derived classes, indicate those parameters and properties that are inherent to the specific type of indicator.

Indicator classes by type

Classes derived from the base one will be the simplest, and will contain only a constructor. The class constructor will be passed the symbol/period of the chart on which the indicator is calculated, and the input parameters specific to this type of indicator. In the constructor initialization line, parameters will be passed to the constructor of the parent class.

An example of a class creating an indicator object that does not contain any parameters:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Accelerator Oscillator indicator class                           |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
class CIndAC : public CIndMSTF
  {
public:
//--- Constructor
   CIndAC(const string symbol,const ENUM_TIMEFRAMES timeframe) : CIndMSTF(IND_AC,1,symbol,timeframe)
     {
      //--- Create description of parameters
      //--- If non-current chart symbol or period, their descriptions are added to parameters
      bool current=(this.Symbol()==::Symbol() && this.Timeframe()==::Period());
      string symbol_period=(current ? "" : ::StringFormat("%s,%s",this.Symbol(),this.TimeframeDescription()));
      string param=(current ? "" : StringFormat("(%s)",symbol_period));
      //--- Write description of parameters, indicator name, its description, title and category
      this.SetParameters(param);
      this.SetName("AC");
      this.SetDescription("Accelerator Oscillator");
      this.m_title=this.Name()+this.Parameters();
      this.m_category=IND_CATEGORY_WILLIAMS;
      //--- Write description of line buffers
      this.SetBufferDescription(0,this.m_title);
     }
  };

The indicator type, number of buffers, chart symbol and chart period, on which the indicator should be calculated, are passed to the parent class in the initialization string. A string with the description of indicator parameters is created in the class body. In this case, if the indicator is created on the data of the current chart, the parameter string will be empty. Otherwise, it will contain the symbol and period of the chart in the form, for example, "(EURUSD,H1)". Next, all parameters inherent to this type of indicator (here it is the Accelerator Oscillator indicator) are set in the body of the constructor.

For each indicator, it is possible to set the number of decimal places displayed in the data window and on the symbol chart. This class constructor does not have the Digits setting since this value, equal to the Digits of the symbol on which the indicator is calculated, is set in the constructor of the parent class. If it is necessary to set a different Digits value for an indicator, this should either done in the constructors of the classes of those indicators where Digits differs from that of the symbol, or it can be changed after creating the indicator object using the SetDigits() method.

An indicator class with parameters:

//| Accumulation/Distribution indicator class                        |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
class CIndAD : public CIndMSTF
  {
public:

   CIndAD(const string symbol,const ENUM_TIMEFRAMES timeframe,
          const ENUM_APPLIED_VOLUME applied_volume // used volume
         ) : CIndMSTF(IND_AD,1,symbol,timeframe)
     {
      //--- Set the size of the parameter array and fill it
      ::ResetLastError();
      if(::ArrayResize(this.m_param,1)==1)
        {
         ::ZeroMemory(this.m_param);
         this.m_param[0].type=TYPE_UINT;
         this.m_param[0].integer_value=applied_volume;
        }
      else
         ::PrintFormat("%s: ArrayResize failed. Error %ld",__FUNCTION__,::GetLastError());
      //--- Create description of parameters
      //--- If non-current chart symbol or period, their descriptions are added to parameters
      bool current=(this.Symbol()==::Symbol() && this.Timeframe()==::Period());
      string symbol_period=(current ? "" : ::StringFormat("%s,%s",this.Symbol(),this.TimeframeDescription()));
      string param=(current ? "" : StringFormat("(%s)",symbol_period));
      //--- Write description of parameters, indicator name, its description, title, category and Digits
      this.SetParameters(param);
      this.SetName("A/D");
      this.SetDescription("Accumulation/Distribution");
      this.m_title=this.Name()+this.Parameters();

      this.m_digits=0;
      //--- Write description of line buffers
      this.SetBufferDescription(0,this.m_title);
     }
  };

Here we have parameters, which should be registered in the array structure of the indicator input parameters MqlParam. Here we also set the indicator's Digits value, which is set for the standard Accumulation/Distribution indicator.

The presented list contains all the classes for creating all the technical indicators available in the client terminal and additionally provides a class for creating a custom indicator. All classes are identical and their main points are commented in the class code.

Please note that testing covered the creation and operation of some of the above indicators. Namely, only indicators based on moving averages that plot one line on the main chart were tested. In the next articles, we will write templates for creating multi-symbol, multi-period versions of all types of technical indicators.

In fact, everything is already ready to create multi-indicators. But we will go beyond this idea and will create a convenient tool for automating the creation and use of multi-symbol, multi-period indicators. This will be a collection class of indicators, allowing you to easily create any indicators based on standard or custom ones, turning them into multi-symbol, multi-period indicators.

Indicator collection class

The indicator collection class is essentially a regular list of pointers to objects. To this list, we will add methods for conveniently creating indicators and adding newly created ones to the collection. It will also be possible to easily get a pointer to the desired indicator and use the necessary data from it. When adding a new indicator to a collection, the presence of exactly the same indicator in the collection will first be checked. If the same indicator already exists in the collection, the newly created object will be deleted and a pointer to the one present in the collection will be returned. This avoids the situation where two different objects refer to the same calculation part.

The structure of the collection class will repeat the structure of the basic multi-symbol multi-period indicator class. The only difference is that most methods must first find the required indicator by its handle and then call the relevant method to set or get its value or action result.

We will use the same file \MQL5\Include\IndMSTF\IndMSTF.mqh and will proceed with the addition of a new class. For its operation, you will need to include the file of the class with the dynamic array of pointers to CObject class instances and its derived classes CArrayObj:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Indicator collection class                                       |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
#include <Arrays\ArrayObj.mqh>
class CMSTFIndicators
  {
private:

public:
  
  }

In the class body, add the list object and methods for class operations:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Indicator collection class                                       |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
#include <Arrays\ArrayObj.mqh>

The logic of all methods is commented in the method listing. First, we get a pointer to the required indicator in the list, and then set or return its property or perform a calculation and return its result. All called methods were discussed above when discussing the base class of the multi-symbol, multi-period indicator.

All codes for the indicator collection class are ready. Each method is provided with comments describing its logic, so that they can be easily understood.

Testing

To test the classes of multi-indicators and their collection, let's create a simple indicator. The indicator will fetaure a selection from several moving averages. The purpose of these tests is to check the operation of classes with indicators that draw one line from one buffer in the main chart window. This purpose is best achieved using moving averages from the set of trend indicators in the client terminal. In the next articles, we will create templates for quickly creating and working with any indicators from the standard set provided in the terminal + working with custom indicators. Gradually, we will completely finalize the classes created today to work correctly with any type of indicators.

The test indicator will plot the lines of the created multi-indicators on the chart. The relevant data will be displayed on the dashboard. The creation of this dashboard was described in the first article of this series.

We will create two identical indicators inside one indicator. One of them will be calculated using the current chart data, and the second one will be calculated using the data of the symbol/period selected in the settings. This way, we will always see the moving average line on the current chart and the line of the same moving average, but created using data of a different chart period. It is possible to select a symbol from another chart, but then the lines will not match the price level.

Create a new indicator file named TestMSTFMovingAverages.mq5:

Select the OnTimer and OnChartEvent handlers:

Select two buffers to be plotted as lines in the main chart window:

You can use any buffer names, as they will be renamed in the code. Click "Finish" and get an indicator template:

In the global area, add an enumeration to select the type of the moving average, connect the multi-symbol multi-period indicators class file and the dashboard class file, and declare input variables.
Rename the buffers to provide a more meaningful representation and declare global indicator variables:

As you can see, we can calculate multi-symbol, multi-period indicators by simply calling the Calculate() method of the indicator collection class. After successful calculation, all data is already available. This data can be accessed and processed from Expert Advisors. In indicators, after successful calculation, data can be displayed on a chart in the form of lines using the DataToBuffer() method of the indicator collection class. That's all you need to calculate and display multi-indicators on the chart.

After compiling the test indicator, we will launch it on a chart with a period of M1, in the settings we will select the current symbol and the calculation period of the indicator M5. In this case, two moving averages selected in the indicator settings will be created. One of them will be calculated using the current chart data, and the second one will be based on the data from a five-minute chart period. By switching the chart timeframe, you can see how two lines are drawn on M1: one will correspond to the moving average calculated on M1, and the second line will correspond to the moving average calculated on M5. If you switch the chart to M5, only one indicator will be created, since the second one will be identical to the first one, and it will not be created. If you switch the chart to M15, then one indicator will be calculated for M15, and the second for M5, and it will also be displayed on the chart.

As you can see, the declared functionality works and we can see indicators in the main chart window. Multiple indicators are created while using one buffer.

The files of all classes and the test indicator are available in the attachment.

Conclusion

Today we have created functionality for quickly creating multi-symbol multi-period indicators and receiving their data in indicators as well as plotting the calculated indicators in the main chart window. In the following articles we will create templates for creating other multi-symbol, multi-period standard indicators that plot their data in the main chart window, and not only with one buffer. As a result, we will get a convenient tool for quickly turning any indicators into multi-symbol, multi-period versions. The multi-indicator classes are likely to be further developed as we will create other standard and custom indicators.
