You want to draw in main window AND in a separate window with 1 indicator ?

is it possible ?

I don't think it is possible to plot some buffers in a separate window and some in main window. Anyway why doing that ?

make it user friendly indicator.

  in one indicator all i need  ; -)

Then make 2. One in main window and one in separate window.

Do you know you can use a template with all the indicators you need ?

yes ;-)

and i working on mql5 coding to learning.

thank you again.

 
angevoyageur:

oh, excuse me,

if i have new buffer's ( with new handle to take value from "iAlligator" )

can use it to draw alligator's line in main chart ?

( and they are just take value in separate window and don't draw in it ; they draw in main chart ) is it possible ?

Suppose you use the Keltner Channel indicator. Then you would want to see both : the ATR and the Keltner's bands. But drawing them on the same chart isn't an option because of very different scales.
