I want to use a custom template with the ChartOpen() but i do not understand how to do so, it will only open the default template when using ChartOpen function, please help

Algorithm: issue the 'ChartOpen' command -> check the value, if the value is greater than '0' -> try the template using the 'ChartApplyTemplate' command.

Code: ChartOpen ChartApplyTemplate.mq5

In which program do you want to determine the type of candlestick: in an indicator or in an Expert Advisor?
