Objects Regression and StdDevChannel and ObjectGetValueByShift...

New comment
 
Greetings,

When creating a simple indicator to create and draw standard deviation channels or Regression Lines, and then attempting to retrieve values from the lines drawn using ObjectGetValueByShift(string name,shift), the values returned do not match the values "moused over." Also, there is apparently no way to retrieve values from the standard deviation channel lines, no values are displayed when these lines are moused over. Is this the intended design, or perhaps a bug, or my poor code work? Thanks for your efforts, MT4 is magnificent! Code used follows...
