why? Why doesn't this happen for the green line? The conditions are identical only the inverse (price > Ask) for the yellow line and (price < Bid) for the green line.

But the green and red lines, for some reason, are created only in one instance and don't blink when the cursor moves.

from zero and above?

Interesting point...

You are looking for two lines

        if(ObjectFind("Buy Stop") == window || ObjectFind("not allowed") == window){

and you delete one.

          ObjectDelete(line_name);

The question is which one? What is the last name of "line_name"

Completed the message. Test your function and mine with incorrect Chart ID and when object is created subwindow. And see what your function returns and what mine believes.

You're just out of the loop)

And if

what then?

Error. And you, true, for some reason!

Error. And you, true, for some reason!

"-1" means no object. Since there is no object, true

I've given you what checking the object's existence should look like. And that my function won't work? On the contrary, it's more versatile. If you need to work with a subwindow, it won't notice much difference.

Let me repeat the question

What if 
ObjectFind(chart, name)=-1

What then?

"-1" - there is no object. Since there is no object - true

Your function will return true and when an error occurs:

Enriched your message. You should test your function and mine with incorrect Chart ID and when object is created in subwindow. And see what your function will return and what mine will return. And read the documentation carefully. All links and quote are given above.


  
  string name = "name";

  ObjectCreate(1, name, OBJ_HLINE, 1,0,0);

  Print(FindObject("name"));

  if (objectExist(0, "name")) Print("objectExist Find");
  else Print("objectExist Object not found.");

...

bool objectExist(const long _chartID, const string _name) { return(ObjectFind(_chartID, _name) >= 0); }

bool FindObject(string name)
  {
   if(ObjectFind(0,name)) return(false);
   return(true);
  }
I create not in main window, it's still true (but Makar wrote for my situation only for main window). For objectExist it is clear, there >= 0.


If search for other object not "name", then Makar's variant will return false.

I gave you what the object's existence check should look like. And my function won't work? On the contrary, it is more universal. If you need to work with a subwindow, it won't make much difference.


As for the universality of the function, well...

bool FindObject(string name,int win)
  {
   if(ObjectFind(0,name)!=win) return(false);
   return(true);
  }

and you remove one.

The question is which one? What is the last name of "line_name"?

The one that, by convention, is true
