why these lines hide themselves?

 

Hi all,

"Ichimoku" indicator has a band plus three lines. I'm trying to hide the three lines(No. 1,2,5) and add three MA lines.

The following is the code, but why that band does not show up in the chart? Could anybody please help?

"DRAW_NONE" then add MAs, it works like you said......I was worrying about 8-line limitation, but it's not. Glad this one solved so quick. 

Thanks a lot!

There is no "8-line" limitation.
 
zirkoner: There is no "8-line" limitation.
Since February 3, 2014 (Build 600) There is no 8-line limitation per indicator.
There has never been a limitation of indicators per chart.
