With you suggestion for each new tick the indicator recalculates all candles.
This is not a solution, this is the beginning of a lots of other issues, like the indicator calculation speed

You need to read through all the posts.

I read again and found that your solution is working in this case.
Sorry for my distraction.
 

Hello guys

I have found one more problem on this indicator. Everytime I start MT5 I can't see the indicator on the chart. But if I switch to an other timeframe and then switching back, the indicator is visible. How can I make it to draw at startup of MT5? (there is no problem if I simpy add the indicator to the chart)

Use this code: (based on DRAW_ARROW drawing style)

Hi, I tested your code but still the same problem. I looked into the log files and here is what I found when I have been using my indicator:

"OpenPriceLine (XAUUSD,M1)    array out of range in 'OpenPriceLine.mq5' (59,24)"


What can I do?

You can use my code ( Open Level )

I tried to change my code more or less according to your code. Lines are not on chart at startup. When the new candlestick of 1min-tf has opened then the lines are painted (so it works only after 1 minute).

I also tried to use the limit variable in the for-loop as in your code but then I get the same problem as I have described in my first post.


Can anyone check what needs to be changed? Would appreciate it.

Sorry, but you answer once a month - apparently you don't need a code at all. I am unable to remember what happened a month ago.

Turn to Freelance - paying with money usually disciplines a person and forces you to communicate more often than once a month.
