HOW CAN I DRAW ARROWS ON CHART OF 2 INDICATORS FROM 2 TIMEFRAMES
Sorry to ask this question,pls i need help on an indicator i was working
on(modifying to suit my need),i wanted my indicator to use 2
timeframes-1min and 5mins to give a signal by showing an arrow on the
bar it occured using 2 indicators, stoicastic ( 5,3,3) and Bollinger
Bands_Stop_v2. pls the result is a dancing arrow ,sometimes vanishes i.e
it repaints and i dont know why.this is the modified indicator i was
working on.Please can anyone help fix my problem.the code is below and indicators used
- Question about OBJPROP_TIMEFRAMES
- How can draw an arrow in the next bar with this code
- Any rookie question, so as not to clutter up the forum. Professionals, don't pass by. Nowhere without you - 6.

You are filling your buffers with the same values. Where is your i?- Where are you converting your i to the M5 and M1 value? Don't mix apples and oranges
- How to do your lookbacks correctly.
- Why compute range instead of using ATR?

Thank you WhRoeder, pls i am limited in my coding ability,just do some few modifications sometimes. i used "- You are filling your buffers with the same values. Where is your i?

limit=Bars-counted_bars; for(i = 1; i <= limit; i++) {
2. please dont understand "Don't mix apples and oranges"
3. was counting from bar 1 back to indicator counted().
4. the range was just so that i can add some values to the low or high when placing my arrow on the chart
Please all i wanted was (stoch to cross up on 1M and5M) and (price should be above bollinger buy on 1M and 5M) then draw UP arrow on the bar which it occured
same goes for SELL which is DOWN arrow.
ADD: i just read how to do loopback correctly, what will be my loopback as time series if i needed only 200 bars backwards?
