Indicator for two currency

New comment
 

Hi!


I would like to create an indicator which can show two line of two different currency pair in the same time. I've created the two timeseries, adjusted them togehter, but the indicator show only one of them. What can be the problem?

You have? 

                  SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_LINE);
                  SetIndexBuffer(0,X_time_series);
                  SetIndexLabel(0,x);  
                  SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_LINE);
                  SetIndexBuffer(0,Y_time_series);
                  SetIndexLabel(0,y);

You have?

I've changed the code, but still only one of the two line is coming to the chart

#property indicator_buffers 2

                  SetIndexStyle(1,DRAW_LINE);
                  SetIndexBuffer(1,X_time_series);
                  SetIndexLabel(1,x);  
                  SetIndexStyle(2,DRAW_LINE);...
You didn't check your return codes so you don't see the problem. You declared the indicator has two buffers, therefor they are numbered 0 and 1.
