Automatic refresh on offline chart
Yes, but as I said, the offline chart generator is on another platform and I'd like to share the .hst files on the other platforms, but I don't know if it's possible.
Maybe just take the function that does the refresh in the code, like “UpdateChartWindow()”, but I don't know how to put that in new code.
Perhaps you should read the manual.

Thank you for your suggestions. But it's not like me to ask for help at the slightest problem, I've been coding my own indicators for many years on MT4, it's just that at a certain point it's too complicated for me, my broken English doesn't help.
I've noticed that if you disable the “offline chart” checkbox in the chart properties, updating works fine. But unfortunately, when you change profile or restart the platform, the offline graph is no longer operational.
It would be too simple, it's no fun otherwise xD
Edit: sorry, it only works well when you uncheck the “offline chart” box AND add a fake tick like this program here ( AutoRefresh 509.mq4) : https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/492302-auto-refresh-indicator-capability-for-mt4

does anyone know if it's possible to do an automatic refresh on an offline chart (like right-click and refresh)? Maybe with a timer that requests a refresh every X seconds?
Or perhaps with a second chart online in the same profile that requests the refresh of the offline chart.
The reason is that I'd like and try to have a platform that's open all the time and that's reserved just for creating several offline charts, and then with Link Shell Extension to create physical links for .hst files to other MT4 platforms that I use for chart analysis. This means faster loading times and fewer calculations for these platforms.
The problem is that as a result, the offline charts aren't updated until I right-click + refresh.
Does anyone have an idea how I can do this?
