How many instruments in the market review?

61.

In build 1907 the bugs miraculously disappeared. I don't even know whether to roll back to find them, or something in this place was just fixed...

How many color buffers can be used?

How are the buffers linked to each other?

#property indicator_buffers 12 // Declare a total of 12 buffers

#property indicator_plots 6 // Graphical constructions

Do I understand correctly, that specifying indicator_type 1 through 6 the indicator will understand that color lines should be drawn for 6 graphical constructions ?

#property indicator_type1 DRAW_COLOR_LINE

#property indicator_type2 DRAW_COLOR_LINE

You'd better create a separate branch for your question. This branch is about specifics, there shouldn't be any discussions here.

To better understand the principle of building, implement the functionality incrementally. You have built one line, check its functionality, add the next one.

Each graphical series (in this case a color line) can have only one color buffer. Each buffer can contain many colors.

In the 1907 build, the bugs have miraculously disappeared. I don't even know whether to roll back to find them, or something in this place just fixed...

The errors disappeared, but the problems with the event queue did not. After a few hours of work the terminal starts to load the CPU up to 95%. And something tells me that the ticks are skipped.

@Slava, did something change in ChartEvent in the 19xx builds? Does your problem reproduce itself?

This is how the resource monitoring looks like after 15 hours of terminal's work (the minimum frequency of spy's event sending is 500 ms):

Although CPU load is close to 0 for several hours after startup.

Bild 1908 - no change.

 

The ability to replace the operators of structures of the basic type allows you to be flexible in some situations.

As an example, below is one technique for custom sorting an array of structures

// Основная структура
struct A
{
  int a;
  int b;
  
  // Правило сортировки
  bool operator > ( const A& Value ) const 
  {
    return(this.a > Value.a);
  }
};

// Вспомогательная структура для изменения правила сортировки
struct B : A
{
  // Перегрузка правила сортировки
  bool operator > ( const A& Value ) const 
  {
    return(this.b > Value.b);
  }
};

// Простая сортировка
template <typename T1, typename T2> // T2 - по какому правилу сортируем
void Sort( T1 &Array[] )
{
  const int Size = ArraySize(Array);
  
  for (int i = 0; i < Size - 1; i++)
  {
    T2 Min = Array[i];
    int Pos = i;
    
    for (int j = i + 1; j < Size; j++)
      if (Min > Array[j])
      {
        Min = Array[j];
        Pos = j;        
      }
      
    if (Pos != i)
    {
      Array[Pos] = Array[i];
      Array[i] = Min;
    }
  }
}

void OnStart()
{
  A Array[3] = {{2, 2}, {3,1}, {1, 3}};
  
  ArrayPrint(Array);
  
  // Сортировка по правилу A
  Sort<A, A>(Array); 
  ArrayPrint(Array);
  
  // Сортировка по правилу B
  Sort<A, B>(Array);  
  ArrayPrint(Array);
}


Result

    [a] [b]
[0]   2   2
[1]   3   1
[2]   1   3
    [a] [b]
[0]   1   3
[1]   2   2
[2]   3   1
    [a] [b]
[0]   3   1
[1]   2   2
[2]   1   3


This is probably an ancient bicycle.

there are a few points. in mql, the < operator must necessarily be a method of class/structure.

This means that it cannot be set for embedded structures, or for immutable ones.

This way can be improved a bit by adding a template comparison function, which will by default call the < operator

UPD: I write < operator everywhere because they usually overload it instead of >, it's not strict, but it's generally accepted

    }
  }
}

{
  MqlTick Ticks[];
  
  CopyTicks(_Symbol, Ticks, COPY_TICKS_ALL, 0, 5);
  
  ArrayPrint(Ticks);
  
  // Сортировка по правилу MQLTICK_BID
  Sort<MqlTick, MQLTICK_BID>(Ticks); 
  ArrayPrint(Ticks);

If you use typedef, then you need to define a sort function not only for structures, but also for standard numeric types. Or I don't understand what we're talking about.
