IndicatorShortName should be moved to init()
does win_idx get it right?
win_ind turns out to be correct.
ObjectCreate("max",OBJ_HLINE,win_idx,0,top); draws in the correct window,
ObjectSet("max",OBJPROP_COLOR,Yellow); draws in the correct colour,
ObjectSet("max",OBJPROP_WIDTH,0); draws the correct line,
but does not define the top parameter in
double top=WindowPriceMax(win_idx);
and topBuffer[] is empty.

Sorry for meddling.
topBuffer[i] behind the loop and drawing, try this:
Hello !
Please point me in the right direction:
I am given N external variables of the same type. How to choose maximal value from them without overloading code - MathMax returns max of two values, but if its, let's say, 20 ?
Or, how to create an array from this data, which then apply ArrayMaximum?
extern int A = 10;
extern int .......;
extern int N = 1253;
Thanks in advance !
https://docs.mql4.com/ru/array/ArrayMaximum
int ArrayMaximum( double array[], int count=WHOLE_ARRAY, int start=0)Search for the element with the maximal value. The function returns the position of the maximal element in the array.
Parameters:
array[] - Numeric array, that is searched.
count - Number of elements to search.
Start - The starting index for searching.
double num_array[15]={4,1,6,3,9,4,1,6,3,9,4,1,6,3,9};
int maxValueIdx=ArrayMaximum(num_array);
Print("Max value = ", num_array[maxValueIdx]);
But, in the form of
int Max [N] = {A,.....,N};
the array is not created.
Where: A,......N are the given variables of the same type. Number of variables = N

Thank you !
It worked, but with a correction: instead of
int init(){sym[1]=sym1;............
do the following
int init(){sym[0]=sym1;.......
and then all elements are counted.
