Styler - Developing programs

Thank you for suggesting styler but it did not solve my problem of ChartOpen() and its return value. Since I'm using multiple symbols and multiple timeframes I use ChartOpen(sym,TF[j]) as a chartid parameter in ObjectCreate() and it ends up opening infinite charts, this is the problem I am facing and would like to know how to get chartid without executing the function.

Thank you

Don't use ChartOpen ()

I can’t answer you exactly, because I don’t know - "What exactly do you want to do"?

I don't know how else to get chartid

I use my EA as a scanner, when the logic of my EA executes on a  specific symbol and timeframe it opens a new chart with ChartOpen() and an Alert() and draws trendlines according to my analysis, but using ChartOpen() as the Chartid parameter in ObjectCreate opens many charts till mt5 crashes, I tried using the ChartID() but this only returns the chartid of the chart I attached the EA to

Why are you opening the chart? The EA can easily work with several symbols / timeframes and open positions on different symbols / timeframes.

I guess you could call my EA a semi-automated one, i use ChartOpen() to manually analyze the trade before opening because not all trade signals are winners, that's just how my strategy is

There is the article about this kind of pattern (and about some others) with coding examples: Analyzing Candlestick Patterns

You need to work with CopyRates . If you clarify your task, I can give you a more accurate advice and provide a code.
