use another charecter instead of Wingdings charecters

 

hi guys,

How Can I Use  ▲ ,  Instead Of Windings characters For an Indicator?

PlotIndexSetInteger(0,PLOT_ARROW,158);
PlotIndexSetInteger(1,PLOT_ARROW,158);

I Want to Use  ▲ and  ▼. Is that possible?

Thanks

According to the documentation, the only character set available for the arrows is Wingdings ... "The DRAW_ARROW style draws arrows of the specified color (symbols of the set Wingdings) based on the value of the indicator buffer."

Thanks for clearing this up. The documentation is not clear on this, especially the last part of the sentence: "Dynamic changes of the plotting properties allows changing the look of an indicator based on the current situation.".

My take is you can change properties like width, color, wingding code, etc to change the look and feel(as well as its working) of the indicator dynamically based on your needs.
