Hello
I'm sorry, my help will not be very great
there may be a problem getting the function to return, which could explain the high delay of 15 seconds.
The indicators you are trying to close may not have exclusive access and cannot be closed.
It will further lengthen the delay, but in this case, I think you should replace your "for" loop with a "while"
If there is a solution, it should be in preparation for clearing these flags, such as removing handles
Sorry, for not being able to do more
Have you tried counting loop in reverse? When removing things it is better to do so. Because of the FIFO nature of the queue.

Mr yashar Seyyedin 's hint solved the problem , that is a good lesson for a programmers,
although I think MT4 's response was iregullar and strange .
If it's MT4, then post in MT4 section. Moved.
Anyway, this is not a bug in the platform. Fix your code and understanding.
string ind_name; int kmax,pmax; kmax=WindowsTotal(); for(int k=kmax-1; k>=0; k--) { pmax=ChartIndicatorsTotal((long)0,k); for(int p=pmax-1; p>=0; p--) { ind_name=ChartIndicatorName((long)0,k,p); if(!ChartIndicatorDelete((long)0,k,ind_name)) { Print(ind_name); Print("error : ",_LastError); } } }
you know , beside counting loop in reverse , I should add typecasting zero to the long in main 3 function of this program !!!
othervise it doesnot work properly and each time only delete one indicator !!
could you please tell the reason ?
