Yes, thanks Fedorov, I was reading the article from Android and the attachments were not there, but when I read it from the computer I found them!

To your health :-) It's nice when it's so easy to help.
 
Oleh Fedorov:
There are some problems with space symbols in comments... Try to remove spaces between variables and comments in those strings where compiler write "Declaration without type". Right version of file was sending to moderator, so I suppose he will attache it to article as soon as he can.

compiled after removing spaces/comments - thanks

Hello Oleh

...

Nothing special.

In archive there are two folders: MQL4 and MQL5.

As usual, copy one depending on your version into your MQL data folder (File -> Open Data Folder) and then restart terminal (or select Tools -> MetaQuotes Languge Editor and compile file Experts\Shortcuts\Shortcuts.mq*).

Return to terminal and put expert on the needed chart.

P.S. If you use scripts from first article and prefer to compile expert "by hand", you need to compile each script too.

 

Hello!

I change parameters for line colours in the GlobalVariables file, compile it, run the EA, but the colours remain the same when creating a new line. What am I doing wrong?

Most likely, you are compiling only GlobalVariables. You should compile the main file "Shortcuts.mq5" so that it picks up all the changes....
