Method for adding indicators with different parameters to one chart: Is it possible in MML5? - Expert Advisors and Automated Trading

Alexey Viktorov 2022.01.30 12:32 #13891

-IMXO- #:

Can you please tell me how? What is "SB"?

SB is a standard library.

For example like this

  int k = 0;
  do
   {
    calc_Margin = OrderCalcMargin(orderType, _Symbol, lots, price, margin);
    Sleep(50);
    k++;
   }
  while(margin <= 0 && k < 7 && !IsStopped());

I hope you understand that variables are set elsewhere...

You have a confusing question. See how the buttons work in the example supplied with the terminal: MQL5\Experts\Examples\Controls\Controls.mq5

Vladimir, thank you.

But in this example, the buttons are from the standard library. Not OBJ_BUTTON.

Thank you, I'll give it a try, I understand.

Question: I am adding, for example, 3 copies of the same indicator (let it be Moving Average) with different parameters (for example, period and colour) to one chart. When I press Ctrl+I on the chart - the list of indicators will be shown, and all "muvings" in the list look the same. The probability of choosing the right one out of 3 is very low. Is there an opportunity when programming (writing the indicator itself) to add to this name (for the list in the indicator window) a specified "difference" ? I.e., for example, I want to see in the list of installed indicators the following:
Moving Average - 10 Moving Average - 20 Moving Average - 50

If numbers in the indicator name define period.

Is this possible in MQL5 ?

Of course you can. Take the example from iMA documentation.

Insert code (usingPlotIndexSetString and PLOT_LABEL

Identifier	Description	Property type
PLOT_LABEL	Name of the indicator graphic series to be displayed in the DataWindow. For complex graphics styles that require multiple indicator buffers to be displayed, the names for each buffer can be specified using ";" as a delimiter. SeeDRAW_CANDLES for code example

)

//--- show the symbol/timeframe the Moving Average indicator is calculated for
   short_name=StringFormat("iMA(%s/%s, %d, %d, %s, %s)",name,EnumToString(period),
                           ma_period, ma_shift,EnumToString(ma_method),EnumToString(applied_price));
   IndicatorSetString(INDICATOR_SHORTNAME,short_name);
   string plot_label=StringFormat("iMA(%d, %d, %s, %s)",
                                  ma_period, ma_shift,StringSubstr(EnumToString(ma_method),5,-1),StringSubstr(EnumToString(applied_price),6,-1));
   PlotIndexSetString(0,PLOT_LABEL,plot_label);
//--- normal initialization of the indicator
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
  }

Setting plot names Beginner's questions in MQL5. A problem

Alexey Viktorov 2022.01.31 10:51 #13896

In the data window you can see the difference of the indicators anyway

The question was about the list of indicators.

Mikhail Rudyk 2022.01.31 16:22 #13897

Hello

Please help with the code

made an indicator

Works correctly in the tester

When I put it on the chart it does not show correctly

Can't figure out why it's wrong.
