Why does my indicator reset when changing timeframes?

Good Morning,

I downloaded an indicator (Heiken Ashi smoothed) and applied it to my chart. I did some settings (colors, etc). If I change the timeframe and come back, my settings are gone and the indicator reset itself (initial colors, etc.).

How can I avoid that ?

Cheers,
Dirk

The settings need to be external = appear in the input properties menu when you attach the indicator.
If the settings you need are not available in the properties menu, you need the source code of the indicator and modify it accordingly.

This is a well known issue with this HAS indicator. The colors are set in the SetIndexStyle() ... so when you switch timeframe, they are the default ones ... even if you setted different colors in the color tab.

To avoid this, remove the red part in all SetIndexStyle()

SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_HISTOGRAM, 0, 1, Red);

Works now like a charm ! Thank you !
