Hi. Can anyone tell me why the below code does not place trade arrows correctly. The 'price' placement is fine, but it fails to always place it at the right bar, often placing arrows many bars in the past, not Bar 0, the current bar. btw ArrowNum is of Global Integer type. ArrowNum++;...

Hi, I'm wondering if it is possible to add nested menus for my indicators. As I write stuff, the INSERT::INDICATORS::CUSTOM submenu gets really crowded.
