I got this error while trying your code :

2014.03.05 12:30:38.141 DrawFilling EURUSD,H1 CExpertExecutor::PlotIndexSetInteger is not implemented

 
PlotIndexSetInteger isn't in the mt4 docs.
 
WHRoeder:
PlotIndexSetInteger isn't in the mt4 docs.

Yes.


But, DRAW_FILLING is.


I dont find how to do this

 
ttechnik:

The documentation is total crap as always

All I can find is that it need 2 buffer labels separated with ";"

An example in the documentation could be so useful

 

DRAW_FILLING is not working in <= b614.

Actually, i haven't found ANY NEW FEATURE to be working (from the ones i tried out).

So, there is really no sense in trying this things out before, lets say, build 700.

This behaviour is really totally non-professional from MQ.

So it would be really nice if someone finds a NEW FEATURE THAT IS WORKING, to report it in some thread, as MQ is obviously not going to do it.

apparently not

Actually it is, DRAW_FILLING

have u tried ?

Tried to use it or tried to read the documentation ? I haven't tried to use it, but that wasn't the context of what you posted . . .

As you can see, it is in the Documentation.

so what? we both know that the Documentation is just a copy from MT5
