Change iExposure indicator view from sub window to chart window

af1 2013.06.09 00:56

Hi, Im trying to change the iExposure indicator view from sub window to main chart window.

I've already tried modifying the code from #property indicator_separate_window to #property indicator_chart_window, but still can't see the indicator in the main "chart" window.

Any suggestion?

Here is the original code. Thanks in advance for your help.

Its not the kind of indicator which would show up on the main chart. Either learn programming or hire a programmer.

Hi, Im trying to change the iExposure indicator view from sub window to main chart window.

I've already tried modifying the code from #property indicator_separate_window to #property indicator_chart_window, but still can't see the indicator in the main "chart" window.

On the chart you are putting this Indicator on what is the range of prices on the Y axis, max and min ? what range of values does this Indicator produce ? they have to be plotted against the same Y axis . . .

iExposure produce information like open orders , buy and sell lots, and profit.

There is a similar indicator named i-Breakeven that can be viewed in the chart window. That's what Im looking, but for the iExposure indicator.

I've checked the i-Breakeven code to compare, and I noticed that changing from:

#property indicator_chart_window

ObjectCreate(name, OBJ_LABEL, 0, 0, 0);

to:

#property indicator_separate_window

ObjectCreate(name, OBJ_LABEL, 1, 0, 0);

The objects moved from chart window to sub window.

So Im trying to do the same changes in the iExposure code, but inverse.

I still can't figure it out.

Do that, and also this . . .

from this . . .

   int    i,col,line,windex=WindowFind(ExtName);

to this . .

   int    i,col,line,windex = 0; // WindowFind(ExtName);

Note: not tested this fully . . .

Many thanks Raptor!, now I can see the indicator in the main chart window.

I appreciate your help.

Hi,

I want to do exactly the same thing. i.e. move the iExposure indicator to the main window. However, I cannot make it work in the chart_window after making the changes mentioned by RaptorUK. Appreciate if afK could share the working (chart window) indicator here.

Thanks.

Hi RaptorUK,

I've modified the iExposure indicator to display on the chart, and have modified the code so that when you delete the indicator, all the objects are deleted (as the labels from the iExposure would remain on the chart). I'm not sure if I've coded it properly as I'm not a coder.

However, now when I delete this modified iExposure indicator, all the objects including the ones I've drawn on my chart are deleted. I'd only like the objects created by iExposure to be deleted, not every object from the chart. I've searched and searched, and have spent hours trying to do it, but am not able to. Could you please help me?

Thanks,

Elpidius

qjol:
because u r deleting all the objects on the chart, u have 2 delete only the objects created by the inducator

How would I do that? As I'm not a coder, so it takes me hours to find out how to code something. I've spent at least 5 hours trying to find out how to do this. It seems impossible.
