I'm just learning to code and have few questions. Can someone tell me please how to do this thing;
1- How to prevent my custom indicator being duplicated on the chart? If it's already on the chart and I will drop it on to the chart again, I want it to detect the first one and abort launching the second one.
something like this: but working :)
int OnInit()
{
int indicators_total = ChartIndicatorsTotal(0,0);
for(int i = 0; ndicators_total > i; i++)
{
if(ChartIndicatorName(0,0,i)==IndicatorName)
return(INIT_FAILED); (AND THEN EXIT)
}
}
2 - How do I detect if there is more than one indicator with the same name on the chart?
3 - How to write an "if" statement to do something if indicator "x" is not present (=0) on the chart?
Something like this: but working :)
if(IndicatorName==0)
{
Print("INDI ",IndicatorName, " NOT DETECTED");
}
4 - And is there a way to put keyboard event (F11 - full screen) into code? To make my custom indicator be able to detect when full screen is on just like with the "chart scale"
ChartGetInteger(0,CHART_SCALEFIX);
?
