strange symbols instead of arrow.s..help

New comment
 
hi all

all my indicators on MT4 appears strange symbols instead of up arrow or down arrow......up arrow appears like $ or SS .....atc

any help!



 
Looks like a font problem. Is this a new problem? Are you running MetaTrader on WINE or something similar?
 
You have used the wrong symbol code! Hint Editor's Reference search for "ENUM_OBJECT" and the Arrow-codes - or post your code and use the SRC-button!
 

Don't know if this applies to your problem or not.

When you set up to code a new indicator and use the wizard you will get this

//--- setting a code from the Wingdings charset as the property of PLOT_ARROW
   PlotIndexSetInteger(0,PLOT_ARROW,159);

 which does nothing and should be replaced with

SetIndexArrow(0,159);

Maybe you don't have the wingdings font loaded on your computer?
 
What kind of pc don't have wingdings in it? Never heard of it.
