arrow indicator with no errors but does not display

New comment
 

Hello everyone.

I have an indicator that should show arrows when a candle with no wick one side of the candle forms but it does not work and I do not know why. No errors in meta editor. I was wondering if someone could take a look. It may be a tiny thing I am not seeing.

Thanks in advance.

  1. “Doesn't work” is meaningless — just like saying the car doesn't work. Doesn't start, won't go in gear, no electrical, missing the key, flat tires — meaningless.

    I assume you mean you don't see anything. 

  2.     SetIndexStyle(0, DRAW_ARROW, EMPTY, 3, clrNONE); // Invisible arrow
    Why do you expect to see invisible arrows?

I would apologise for not being clear given that I was under pressure to write very quickly as I had bad internet, but the fact that you pointed out the arrow means you clearly know what I asked so it is pretty dishonest to pretend like you don't. There are many hateful clowns in forums like you who don't know how to respond to people properly so you should probabaly dig up an article on "  How To Reply to Questions The Smart Way." Thirdly that line of code was supposed to have been deleted but you've clearly put me off apologising for that as well. In any case, correcting that did not solve the issue so you have been unhelpful either way Mr smart.

Try not take it this way.
I don't think it's intended to be provocative or rude but just the nature of it.
With speed, logic and efficiency in mind, that may be all the time they can spare on your question/project.
As short and to the point as possible, and with short illustration that your question may be too broad or lacks info etc.
I've learned to kick the perception of rudeness to the side because I don't think it's intended that way, but more the nature of coders to be quick,efficient and logical as possible. 
Even if that may come of as rude or provacative sometimes. 

Anyhow, hope this helps and good luck on your project.
Did changing the color from clrNONE solve the problem ?

Don't take it personally. However I do agree and understand, I will ask William to change it's standard answer to be less rude.

However your answer is even worse, inappropriate and offending to him, who helped thousands people here, please don't continue this way.

No need to answer me, or to argue please.
