ObjectCreate keeps putting the obj_label in the wrong window

 

ok so the first ObjectCreate puts it in window 0 (main) and the second ObjectCreate  puts it in the 2 i dont know why???


      ObjectCreate("m5",OBJ_LABEL,0,0,0);
      ObjectSetText("m5","M5 "+iRSI(NULL,5,14,PRICE_CLOSE,0));
      ObjectSet("m5",OBJPROP_CORNER,0);
      ObjectSet("m5",OBJPROP_XDISTANCE,20);
      ObjectSet("m5",OBJPROP_YDISTANCE,50);
      
      ObjectCreate("m15",OBJ_LABEL,0,0,0);
      ObjectSetText("m15","M15 "+iRSI(NULL,15,14,PRICE_CLOSE,0));
      ObjectSet("m15",OBJPROP_CORNER,0);
      ObjectSet("m15",OBJPROP_XDISTANCE,10);
      ObjectSet("m15",OBJPROP_YDISTANCE,20);

You need to reference the window / sub window index.


General Example:

      int window_index=WindowFind("my indicator short name");
      if(window_index<0){window_index=0;}

That will tell you the window index that you need to reference.

Index 0 is the main chart window.

If you have an indicator sub window, then it would be index 1, etc etc etc.

 

yah did i not index them to the same window  0 becouse the first m5 shows up in the main window and m15 in window 2 even though the code is the some 


here is all the code

Don't hard code constants. If you add or remove an indicator your code breaks. Find the sub-window like @Jack Thomas said.
