Mr.FreeMan:

will the genetic algorithm work correctly in the tester, if all parameters of the indicator have already been searched in the Expert Advisor itself, but only one TRIX value has been placed in the input, which stores the variation of the parameters?

It will, if the values of the input parameters are unambiguously matched to the hidden calculated variations.

MQL5: Added methods of managing indicators on a chart: ChartIndicatorDelete, ChartIndicatorName, ChartIndicatorsTotal.

I will put it in a nutshell:

Hello, only if your broker adds it, you can't do it yourself.

Is this repeated in the 358 build?

I request period in indicator - _Period or Period() and write them in Comment(). On charts less than 60 min. it shows everything correctly, but 60 and more writes some nonsense. In particular, it shows 16385 on H1. Is it supposed to be like that? Then how can I know the chart period in minutes?

Now, unlike in MT4, Period does not indicate the number of minutes in a period.

As for how to know...

PeriodSeconds

Returns the number of seconds in a period.

intPeriodSeconds( ENUM_TIMEFRAMESperiod=PERIOD_CURRENT//the period of the chart );

Parameters

period=PERIOD_CURRENT

[in] Value of period of the chart from enumeration ENUM_TIMEFRAMES. If the parameter is not specified, it returns the number of seconds of the current period of the chart, on which the program is running.

Returned value

Number of seconds in the specified period.

Interesting:
Now, unlike MT4 the period does not mean the number of seconds in a period.

It never showed the number of seconds, even in MT4 respected... But minutes in MT4 it showed clearly. Then what does _Period show on the H1 chart? Seems like a serious bug to me.
