IndicatorShortName not visible

New comment

Hello to the experts,


I tried to use the shortname function with a custom indicator, but nothing seems to appear in the chart window.


Then I tried the for example MACD default codes, implemented in the INIT() area:

IndicatorShortName("MACD("+IntegerToString(InpFastEMA)+","+IntegerToString(InpSlowEMA)+","+IntegerToString(InpSignalSMA)+")");

SetIndexLabel(0,"MACD");

SetIndexLabel(1,"Signal");


Again a name doesn't appear in the customer indicator.


Is it a setting in the MT 4 which has to be changed or any other reason?


thanks for hints in advance

The name is not shown in the chart window.

It is not clear whether your indicator is in a separate window or not.

The name will only show in an indicator sub-window, not if it is an indicator on the main chart.

thanks to both users for the feedback  !


My indicator is in the chart window indeed.
