Seeing the indicator of the ea in the chart

[sunshineh]

Hi,

when I active an ea on my chart, I can't see the indicator which the ea is using.

Why and how can I change this??

Thank you!

@WHRoeder,

thank you very much for your answer! I don't know, if you understand my question or if I don't understand your answer.

Here my facts:

I have programmed an EA which is using an indicator and two graphical objects in the indicator:

int windowIndex=WindowFind("CCI("+CCI_period+")");   
string name = "Selllinie"+TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_DATE|TIME_MINUTES);
ObjectCreate(name,OBJ_HLINE,windowIndex,0,80); 
WindowRedraw();  

1.I do a strategy test and open the chart

>>The EA AND THE Indicator is visible, but not the objects in the indicator chart.

2.I put the EA on the chart

>>The EA is running but I can't the the indicator and the graphical objects

NOW

if it drop the indicator on the chart, the graphical objects are drawn!

I understand that behaviour, because the EA doesn't need to display the calculation value from the indicator to work.

But I can't believe that it is so difficult to say from my EA, that the indicator has to be displayed on the chart.

Is there no command to open my indicator from my EA??
