What do you mean, which kind of window ?

In the Indicators I can do it with instruction:

#property indicator_separate_window

but in Expert Advisor it is not possibile, it generates an error.

 
EA cannot run on separate windows. Only on main windows.

What to do ? An EA can't draw from buffers like indicators. But it can draw objects on any window or subwindow.

Yes, I would simply write (with text objects) some infos in this separate window.

Bear in mind that the EA can only draw on existing subwindows.

 

Create an empty indicator, call it "empty_indi" exemple :

int start()

{

return(0);

}


And write wathever you want inside his window; included writing from your expert into his window; this is a current way to show information. 

int Win_indi; Win_indi = WindowFind("empty_indi");      // Searching for indicator window number
   if (Win_indi<0)return;  // the indicator has to be in the chart


ObjectCreate("Name",OBJ_LABEL, Win_indi,0,0);// Creating
   ObjectSet ect

Great, but but ..... I would like to launch the empty indicator not manually but from the Expert Advisor.

Can you do?
