2 buffers with different scale, don't draw 1st, but 2nd is calculated on 1st.

Say you have an indicator with 2 buffers, the 2nd one is calculated on the 1st. The scale of the first is much larger and you're not interested in displaying its values. So you could use #property indicator_maximum but that's not good because the values of the 2nd buffer change if you change the time frame. You could also limit the number of buffers: #property indicator_buffers 2 change that to 1, but that doesn't work because if you change the order of the buffers in SetIndexBuffer, then you it doesn't display anything since the first one needs to be calculated first and the second buffer is calculated on the first. Any other solutions in this particular scenario?

Yes,

use #property indicator_buffers 1

then in the init write IndicatorBuffers(2);

assign a second array to the buffer index.

Note, the first buffer will be drawn, the second not.

here is an example:

#property indicator_separate_window
#property indicator_buffers 4
#property indicator_color1 Green
#property indicator_color2 Black
#property indicator_color3 Blue
#property indicator_color4 Red
//---- buffers
double signal[];
double main[];
double diffup[];
double diffdo[];
double ma[];
double maf[];

int init()
  {

//---- indicators
   IndicatorBuffers(6);
   SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_LINE,STYLE_SOLID,5);
   SetIndexBuffer(0,signal);
   SetIndexStyle(1,DRAW_HISTOGRAM,STYLE_SOLID,3);
   SetIndexBuffer(1,main);
   SetIndexStyle(2,DRAW_HISTOGRAM,STYLE_SOLID,3);
   SetIndexBuffer(2,diffup);
   SetIndexStyle(3,DRAW_HISTOGRAM,STYLE_SOLID,3);
   SetIndexBuffer(3,diffdo);

   SetIndexBuffer(4,ma);
   SetIndexBuffer(5,maf);   
//----
   return(0);
  }

2 buffers with different scale, don't draw 1st, but 2nd is calculated on 1st.

Like zzuegg said: don't draw 2nd and the 1st is calculated on the 2nd

Thanks guys, that works.
