Hey,

I have an annoying bug. When I draw trendlines or other stuff on a chart and switch timeframes they disappear. By using the search function I found out that some Indicators or EA's cause this problem when this is coded into them

ObjectsDeleteAll();

I only found 2 of the 4 indicators in MetaEditor that I'm using and they don't have that line coded.

When I open a naked chart, the trendlines don't seem to get removed so I'm pretty sure it has to do with the indicators that I'm using. How can I find the 2 other indicators?

Dear LongBTC,

I encountered this a few times. Simple solution would be to add each of the indi separately, draw lines and switch TF. When you know what they are and have the source, you can try fix the "OnDeinit" function. It could be related to the way the object names are found: See below for example in which case my objects are labeled with "Open..." This works thanks to Cja's help

Inserted Code
for(int i=ObjectsTotal()-1; i>=0; i--)
      if(StringFind(ObjectName(i),"Open",0)>-1)
         ObjectDelete(ObjectName(i));

What didn't work and had given the same issue with deleting placed lines was:
Inserted Code
for(int i=ObjectsTotal()-1;i>=0;i--)
     {
     string ObName= ObjectName(i);
     if(StringFind(ObName,"OpenTimehigh",0) )
        ObjectDelete(ObName);

Hope that helps,
You can also put the indicators here that you suspect and I am sure someone should be able to check them and even fix the issue

Kind Regards,
Tzamo

Hi Bro, maybe you use Average Daily Range V.3.9 Indicator, that clear all objects (due to weak coding) when re-init (change TF or Symbols).
