I think since b+600 wee can do things like:

ChartApplyTemplate(..);  but the template has be in in the correct folder!

ChartOpen() only 'knows' the Symbol() and the Time_Frame.

This can replace most of your code!!

[Trinh Dat]

  long chart = ChartOpen("EURUSD",Period());
  ChartApplyTemplate(chart,"Momentum");

simple code.
