Adding Indicators to the mini charts in MT5

[Bryan McAfee]

I was wondering if it is possible to add indicators to the mini charts that are available in MT5.  I Googled it and came up blank.

Yes it's possible but only by programming.

I made an example to demonstrate this, see this chart :

Example of a mini chart (object) with an indicator added

I added a chart object named "MiniChart", then I run the following code :

   //--- Get mini chart ID
   long miniChartID=ObjectGetInteger(0,"MiniChart",OBJPROP_CHART_ID);
   //--- Get inficator handle
   int maHandle=iMA("EURCHF",PERIOD_H1,12,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE);   
   //--- Add indicator ro mini chart
   if(miniChartID>0 && maHandle!=INVALID_HANDLE)
      ChartIndicatorAdd(miniChartID,0,maHandle);

Of course, the chart object can also be added by code if needed.

Sorry for such a noob question but how do you execute the above code? 

I can add a new mini chart via the drop down menu's (Insert/Objects/Graphical/Chart)

But I dont understand how to run the code to get the indicator appear.

 

Thank you.

Create a new script for example and copy and paste this code inside OnStart() function.
