I recently added an indicator called ‘sweetspots’ to help me identify price markers easier, but since adding it and customizing it to my liking, it keeps disappearing within a few seconds of adding it… I’ve made a template for it and every time I re-open the template, it will come back from anywhere from a few seconds to minutes and then disappear again, its really annoying as i quite like the indicator.
I made a short video to show the problem I’m having - you’ll see me re-open the template created, and also go to edit mode for the indicator - and both times they disappear again.
Am i doing something wrong, or is there anyway to fix this?
At that time I made the video, no other indicators were on the chart, im still quite a newbie so working with plain charts are just easier for me at the moment, i add and take off things as i see fit…
And in terms of customizing, i simply mean i changed the colours and i think some of the values to get it to show what i like… Otherwise nothing else…
Maybe i should try deleting and re-loading… Don’t know why this wasn’t the first thing i tried lol
That’s very strange indeed. I thought if you had another indicator that it might be “deleting all objects” as a way to refresh itself… as I’ve found some that did that. But if you don’t have any other indicators loaded, then that’s not it.
I thought maybe you had changed some code to customize it, but changing the parameters of the colors or value of which lines to show shouldn’t affect it in the way yours is behaving either…hmmmm…will get back to you shortly…
Appreciate the help… Just to throw it out there although i dont think it’ll make much difference, I’m using Oanda’s MT4 demo - if that makes any difference whatsoever…
It would also seem strange that MT4 itself is the cause. It seems that it is de-initializing the indicator for some reason…check the “Experts” and “Journal” tabs and see what is being logged in there that might give a clue.
The tabs below your “Terminal” Window…the first tab lists your “Orders”… to the right of that is your “Order History”… next to that is the “Alerts” tab and to that the “Mailbox” tab…etc…sorry, I’m too lazy to make a pic for you
Ah I think I know what you are referring to, at work at the moment so will have to check when I get home… Will check to see if there’s anything ‘unusual’ showing…
So i checked out the experts and journal section like you suggested
The journal showed nothing out of the ordinary, however in the experts section, when i add the sweetspots indicator it shows ‘initialized’, and then when they start disappearing like in the video, it starts showing ‘remainder from zero divide’
