Display more than 8 buffers in custom indicator.

[Mike Pascal Plavonil]

Hello guys

I'm trying to build a custom indicator.I'm a newbie in mql4 developpement. I read https://book.mql4.com/samples/icustom  and I know MQL4 allow drawing uop to 8 indicator lines.

I used 4 buffers to colors the candles. Now I'd like to display at least 12 lines more but It doesn't work. I know it's possible because they did it - <Link to market product deleted>

I would appreciate someone helping me, show me the way to deal with it.

Maximum of 8 buffers is out of date.

I can't remember what the maximum is now, but I think more than 50. Maybe someone else knows exactly.

You should have no problems with 16.

Custom Indicators can contain up to 512 indicator buffers.

Thanks for the links. Indeed the mql4 tutorial is outdated.
