Weird functions

[[Deleted]]

I decided to open a thread for functions, that seem weird to me. It is not a bug report, just rather a warning for users.

long  ChartOpen(    string           symbol,     // Symbol name    ENUM_TIMEFRAMES  period      // Period    );

Opens a new chart with the specified symbol and period

The most weird thing about this command is that it actually opens H1 chart for most values of ENUM_TIMEFRAMES. No error, just a new unexpected chart.

A minor issue is that the period parameter type differs in Metaeditor which accepts integer.

Lucky you. Is the command ignored or does it open offline chart (if any)?

For those who want to try without coding I attached a test indicator.

Support team: And will not open

Support team: Closed the case
