How to draw the arrow at the bottom of the chart window
scfx:
Good morning,
I write a simple indicator for stochastic cross with the arrow is either above or below the bar.
However, I want the arrow to be at the bottom of the chart window, say 0.5 inch above the lower border of the window.
I don't know how to do it and I wonder if you can help me.
Have you tried using . . .
#property indicator_separate_window
Hi RapterUK,
It works!
Thank you .

Hi Everyone,
I would like to include the stochastic cross arrow on the stochastic window. So I search on MQL4 and find the stochastic code.
I try to put 1 more indicator_color for the new buffer together with a short code to detect the cut.
However, it doesn't work.
Could you tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thank you.
