Hello!

I run the script above.

Somehow   lChart.SetInteger(CHART_SHOW_PERIOD_SEP,1); doesn't work.

Anyone experiences the same thing?

Build 787

Thank you!

Use :

   lChart.ShowPeriodSep(true);

If you use a class (CChart) then use its methods and properties.

If you use SetInteger, then set correct value type, CHART_SHOW_PERIOD_SEP is a bool (true or false), not an integer (1).

Hello!

I tried both ways, but it didn't work out.

      lChart.Redraw();
      while(!IsStopped()) {};
  }

 Chart is presented in MT5 but period separators are just not shown. If I hit Crtl+Y they are displayed though.

 Any help would be much appreciated!

Thank you!

Seems a bug. If I add this code, it works :

      Print("Chart separator : ", lChart.ShowPeriodSep());

That give :

void OnStart()
  {
      CChart lChart;
      lChart.Open(gSymbol, PERIOD_M15);
      lChart.ApplyTemplate("blank");     // You have to modifiy this code to use your template
      Print("Chart separator : ", lChart.ShowPeriodSep());
      lChart.ShowPeriodSep(true);
      lChart.Redraw();
      while(!IsStopped()) {};
  }

I'll use the workaround and report a bug. Thank you!
