 thanks a loot  in advance.

1. int deinit()
     {
   //---- TODO: add your code here
   //----
   ObjectDelete("R1 Label"); 
   ObjectDelete("R1 Line");
   ObjectDelete("S1 Label");
   ObjectDelete("S1 Line");
   
      return(0);
     } <================== This is the last line of deinit. SetPoint is NOT called in deinit.

2. int cnt=720;//<<<<<----why 720 ????????

   Arbitrary look back amount. 6 days on H1

Those are functions. The De-Init ended before your first question. I recommend the Book.
