haim1w,

I believe you have to displace statements from

IndicatorShortName(short_name);
short_name="Alert 15Min ";

to

short_name="Alert 15Min ";
IndicatorShortName(short_name);

That's it.
 
Hi again,
I have tried it, but it still doesn't work :-(
it show me the value -2.0000 twice.

Maybe other Idea???

Thanks any way
Haim

It's unlikely... Beware you've compiled your indicator properly. May be you need to drop it from the graph and create again (just to refresh)?

>Maybe other Idea???

No, you need not another idea, that does work fine:

short_name="Alert 15Min ";
IndicatorShortName(short_name);

Hope it helps.
 
Thanks again online,
but for some reason it is still doesnt work for me.
I did compiled it and refresh it...

It is my experience that compiling and refreshing my not be adequate.
Sometimes it is necessary to delete the Indicator and reinstall it.
Same goes for the Expert.
 
Thanks Again, i did it also...
