Konstantin83:

When saving a csv file, the data is not split into columns. Even the script from the standard example outputs all the data in one column.

Specify the separator:

filehandle=FileOpen("fractals.csv",FILE_WRITE|FILE_CSV,",");
 
tol64:

Specify the separator:

Didn't work. When opening in Excel it says unknown file format and doesn't split the columns either. But if you don't specify a separator and don't specify a file extension, it also says unknown format, but the text is broken in columns...

There's more to do like that:

filehandle=FileOpen("fractals.csv",FILE_WRITE|FILE_CSV|FILE_ANSI,",");
 
There's a glitch with the charts in Signals. Or is it just me?
 

Is it possible to create an indicator that will have a buffer line, e.g. close[] line and a comment at the top left? I tried to make a simple example so my terminal hangs

#property indicator_chart_window
#property indicator_buffers 1
#property indicator_plots   1
//--- plot Histogram
#property indicator_label1  "1"
#property indicator_type1   DRAW_LINE
#property indicator_color1  clrBlue
#property indicator_style1  STYLE_SOLID
#property indicator_width1  2
double MAbuf1[];

int OnInit()
  {
//--- indicator buffers mapping
   ChartGetInteger(0,CHART_VISIBLE_BARS);
   SetIndexBuffer(0,MAbuf1,INDICATOR_DATA);
   return(0);
  }

int OnCalculate(const int rates_total,
                const int prev_calculated,
                const datetime &time[],

                const double &low[],
                const double &close[],
                const long &tick_volume[],
                const long &volume[],
                const int &spread[])
  {
//--- вычисления значений индикатора
   int start=0;
//--- если расчет уже производился на предыдущем запуске OnCalculate
   if(prev_calculated>0) start=prev_calculated-1; // установим начало расчетов с предпослденего бара
//--- заполняем индикаторный буфер значениями
   for(int i=start;i<rates_total;i++)
     {
      //----------------------Обнуляем буферы
      MAbuf1[i]=0;
      MAbuf1[i]=close[i];
      Comment("Work");


     }
//--- вернем значение prev_calculated для следующего вызова функции
   return(rates_total);
  }
 
Take the comment out of the loop - should make it easier.

Thanks, didn't realise it would be such a burden on the system
 
When will the #resource option be applied to the indicator files? Does anyone know? I would really like to combine the whole project into one .ex5 file.

They seem to have promised such a possibility, but did not say when.
 

Please explain why the second buffer (label2) is zero

1) For some reason, the OnCalculate function has no problems with multiple buffers, where there are separate close, open, etc.

2) I would love to use it, but it fails to use the algorithm for calculation of moving averages which is described in the code above

ExtLineBuffer2[i] tried to assign different values including constants - always zero
