Hi every one. please help me with this surprising indicator.

this is a simple indicator with one input parameter.

if you add it to chart it draw a vertical line on last bar and set name equal to symbol name.

there is a Boolean parameter that when i set to true i want it open all symbols in market watch and by using iCustom() tries to add new example of itself as indicator to new opened chart.

it open all charts in market watch and even add indicator to them( you can see it in indicator list)  BUT   the problem is that new opened chart dont show any thing. there is noting in objectlist of new opened chart.

Now, lets talk about surprising point 

whisper magic words for 3 times.... boo0000000om

All objects draw on main chart

could any body explain how is this possible????

am i wrong or its a bug?

Solution way:

• Create an indicator that draws a vertical line on the last bar
• Put this indicator on the chart and save it as a chart template (for example, set the name 'VLine.tpl')
• Create a chart in a loop (ChartOpen) and add a template (ChartApplyTemplate) to the chart

Or the second option - create a custom indicator 'Vertical Line Last Bar'  (it is located in my [data folder]\MQL5\Indicators\MyInd\OBJ_VLINE\Vertical Line Last Bar.mq5 folder). And in the indicator we very carefully create new charts: we MUST get and use the RECEIVED chart ID:

                const int prev_calculated,
                const datetime &time[],
                const double &open[],
                const double &high[],
                const double &low[],
                const double &close[],
                const long &tick_volume[],
                const long &volume[],
                const int &spread[])
  {
//--- we work only at the time of the birth of new bar
   datetime time_0=time[rates_total-1];
   if(time_0==m_prev_bars)
      return(rates_total);
   m_prev_bars=time_0;
//---
   long chart_ID=ChartID();
   string charts_symbol=ChartSymbol(chart_ID);
   Print("ChartID: ",chart_ID,", ChartSymbol: ",charts_symbol);
   if(ObjectFind(chart_ID,InpName)<0)
      if(!VLineCreate(chart_ID,InpName))
        {
         m_prev_bars=0;
         return(rates_total);
        }
   VLineMove(chart_ID,InpName,time[rates_total-1]);
//--- return value of prev_calculated for next call
   return(rates_total);
  }

thank you for help.

i used the 1st solution. create a template and add it to the chart. it worked .
