Hi Guys, Great work on Metatrader BTW. I'd like to see Metatrader with a multi-level 'Undo' feature. As has happened in the past, I've set up long term trendlines and the like and have forgotten to unclick them, for one reason or another. Selecting another to delete essentially blows them all...

I have a question about arrays, specifically when referencing bar arrays. The code: int h1 = High[0]; int h100 = High[100]; returns two values in the series. The first returns the LATEST bar, i.e, today's bar while h100 returns 100 bars ago. So an array of bars counts BACKWARDS from today to...

I have just started using Metatrade, and find it to be a very nice programme. My compliments to the designers. Can I ask what effect does selecting "Draw object as background" have, in Line Properties, for example? I select this option, but can see no difference between this and leaving it in...
