Hi,
you can use ChartSaveTemplate(), ChartClose() / ChartOpen() and ChartApplyTemplate() functions for your task.

thank you I made this code:
void openM30(){
if(i==0){
IDChart = ChartOpen("EURUSD", PERIOD_M1 ); // opens new chart
i = 1;
}
}
void eaON(){
ChartApplyTemplate(IDChart , "eaON.tpl");
}
void eaOF(){
ChartApplyTemplate(IDChart , "eaOF.tpl");
thank you
