Issues with seeing all my buffers and using both chart window and seperate window
buffers 1-4 should be on Chart window
buffers 5-8 should be on Separate Window
how about my other question
with #property Strict everything compiles fine no errors and no warnings. but when i load into terminal i only see the first buffer
i am still new to coding.

i have made another indicator that has a total of 7 buffers and i know this is the max limit of INDEX index can only be at range of 1-7 but i don't know what to do to make all of my 18 buffers on this set of code.
The limit is 512 buffers, so 18 buffers is not a problem.
Note
The amount of buffers cannot exceed 512 and be less than the value set in #property indicator_buffers. If a custom indicator requires additional buffers for counting, IndicatorBuffers() function should be used for specifying the total amount of buffers.
Just remember to actually set the correct number of buffers:
IndicatorBuffers( 18 ); // 18, not 4
Also, please use the modern OnInit() and OnCalculate() style of the newer MQL4+ coding and not the old almost obsolete style of init() and start().

yeah my buffers set to 18 but i can't seem to understand why when i load the indicator i only see buffer 1 & 2 visible
#property indicator_buffers 18
Total buffers is controlled by the "IndicatorBuffers( 18 )" function, not the "#property indicator_buffers 18", which sets the number of displayed plots.
Also, set the buffers with "SetIndexBuffer()" first before setting any of their attributes.
And finally, since you have not shown any code for the implementation, we are unable to verify if you are actually setting values for them correctly.

IndicatorBuffers(4);i changed it to 18, and still same issue
Did you change the rest of the points mentioned?
Show your new code!
Also show a screenshot of your Data Window, showing all the lines for this indicator.

i dont know what you mean by data window do you mean under color in settings where it shows all the buffers

with #property Strict everything compiles fine no errors and no warnings. but when i load into terminal i only see the first buffer
i am still new to coding.
that is my indicator list.
my buffer indicators are here
and below is my
INT section
i have made another indicator that has a total of 7 buffers and i know this is the max limit of INDEX index can only be at range of 1-7 but i don't know what to do to make all of my 18 buffers on this set of code.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
question 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
my other question is
how do i enable both
and
On the same indicator .mq4
example
buffers 1-4 should be on Chart window
buffers 5-8 should be on Separate Window
i have tried to search for my answer through the forum and through the online book but i can't find a clear example on how to execute this code because i am also very new to coding still
