Custom indicator colour change

[Radi Hadzhiev]

Hello everyone,

I have created a customer indicator but for some reason when i go to the properties tab in the settings panel I can't change the colours of the lines, I can only change the with and style of the lines. Below is a snipping of my code. Have I done something wrong?

#property indicator_separate_window

#property indicator_buffers 6
#property indicator_plots   4

#property indicator_type1   DRAW_FILLING
#property indicator_label1  "channel1;Channel2"
#property indicator_color1  clrAqua,clrCrimson

//--- plot Signal
#property indicator_label2  "Signal"
#property indicator_type2   DRAW_LINE
#property indicator_color2  clrRed
#property indicator_style2  STYLE_SOLID
#property indicator_width2  1
//--- plot Macd
#property indicator_label3  "line3"
#property indicator_type3   DRAW_LINE
#property indicator_color3  clrBlue
#property indicator_style3  STYLE_SOLID
#property indicator_width3  1

//--- plot Histogram
#property indicator_label4  "Histogram"
#property indicator_type4   DRAW_COLOR_HISTOGRAM
#property indicator_color4  clrRed,clrDeepSkyBlue
#property indicator_style4  STYLE_SOLID
#property indicator_width4  2

int OnInit()
  {
//--- indicator buffers mapping

   if(filling)
     {
      SetIndexBuffer(0,SellBuffer,INDICATOR_DATA);
      SetIndexBuffer(1,BuyBuffer,INDICATOR_DATA);
     }
   SetIndexBuffer(2,SignalBuffer,INDICATOR_DATA);
   SetIndexBuffer(3,MacdBuffer,INDICATOR_DATA);
   SetIndexBuffer(4,HistogramBuffer,INDICATOR_DATA);
   SetIndexBuffer(5,HistogramColors,INDICATOR_COLOR_INDEX);

//ArraySetAsSeries(MacdBuffer, true);
//ArraySetAsSeries(HistogramColors, true);

   MacdHandle = iMACD(Symbol(), Period(), Fast_EMA, Slow_EMA, Signal,PRICE_CLOSE);
   OSMAHandle = iOsMA(Symbol(), Period(), Fast_EMA, Slow_EMA, Signal,PRICE_CLOSE);

   MaxPeriod = (int)MathMax(MathMax(Signal,Slow_EMA), Fast_EMA);

   PlotIndexSetInteger(0, PLOT_DRAW_BEGIN, MaxPeriod);
   PlotIndexSetInteger(1, PLOT_DRAW_BEGIN, MaxPeriod);
   PlotIndexSetInteger(2, PLOT_DRAW_BEGIN, MaxPeriod);
   PlotIndexSetInteger(3, PLOT_DRAW_BEGIN, MaxPeriod);
   PlotIndexSetInteger(4, PLOT_DRAW_BEGIN, MaxPeriod);
//---
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
  }

You haven't created any input parameters (' input ' variables) - that's why you don't see properties.

Hello Vladimir, I have some inputs but are unrelated to the issue. The issue is with the change of the properties. As you can see from the screenshot below I can freely change the width and style of the lines. I can't do the same of the color though.

clean up the order with the number of indicator buffers and the number of plots.  throw out unnecessary and unnecessary from oninit.  always create a stub using the mql wizard.
