Discussion of article "Other classes in DoEasy library (Part 67): Chart object class"

New comment
 

New article Other classes in DoEasy library (Part 67): Chart object class has been published:

In this article, I will create the chart object class (of a single trading instrument chart) and improve the collection class of MQL5 signal objects so that each signal object stored in the collection updates all its parameters when updating the list.

Compile the EA, open three charts in the terminal and launch the EA on the first of them, while preliminarily specifying "Work only with the current symbol and timeframe" in the parameters:


During the first tick, the EA creates three chart objects and displays short descriptions of the three created chart objects in addition to the messages about the initialization of various library classes:

Chart window EURUSD H4 ID: 131733844391938630, HWND: 918600
Chart window AUDUSD H1 ID: 131733844391938632, HWND: 1182638
Chart window GBPUSD H4 ID: 131733844391938633, HWND: 1705036

Next, display the full description of all properties of the chart object describing the first terminal chart:
