Heikin Ashi in subwindow

 

Hi all


I have the following Heikin Ashi Smoothed indicator and i am trying to add it in a subwindow instead of the main window.

i changed the #property indicator_chart_window to indicator_separate_window but i get the following picture. i have the original heikin ashi smoothed in the main window and the one after the change in the subwindow, as you can see i have some problems.


Any help will be welcomed.

Histogram can make "candle bars" in the main window, but cannot do it in a sub-window

If you want bars in a subwindow, you have to draw them using ObjectCreate().

Phy,


Is it possible to show a code example of how you use ObjectCreate() to build your "candles" in the sub-window? This a very interesting concept!


I'd like to be able to replace the Kumo histogram in the Ichimoku indicator with with a drawing solution that completely fills or shades in the area between the Senkou Span A & Senkou Span B (cloud). Maybe it is possible to accomplish that by using ObjectCreate() to construct the Kumo as apposed to a histogram. Your thoughts or ideas?


Thanks!!

 

ObjectCreate(wickName, OBJ_TREND, subwindowNumber, barTime, High, barTimeLow);

ObjectSet(wickName,..., ...) Set width 1, set no ray

ObjectCreate(bodyName, OBJ_TREND, subwindowNumber, barTime, High, barTimeLow);

ObjectSet(bodyName,..., ...) Set width 3 or 5, set no ray

use new names for each bar

  1. This is because on the main window, the bars are drawn between two histogram buffers. On the subwindow, they are drawn between the buffer and zero
  2. See my solution How to Draw Cnadle chart in indicator_separate_window ? (XDXD) - MQL4 forum
