I have a copy of Symbol Changer - master from this thread which ticks all my boxes-- similar to Setsymbol but with Buttons
have a problem though --not with the code
I want to change the order of symbols on Line 4 to be in currency order
ie AUD, CAD,CHF etc
not being a coder , these simple changes are not usually a problem , except now
I've checked the attached image against the original & can't see any error but it's there somwhere .
the Error message says , see attached)
double quotes are needed line 4 -- 102
expressions not allowed ;ine 4 100
I'd appreciate it if some kind coder could put me on the right track

thanks

Here is an updated version that includes an option to set the symbol on all charts. MT4 and MT5 versions with source are included. This indicator can be displayed on the Main Chart Window or any Indicator Subwindow. Symbols can be defined as specified input or can be taken from MarketWatch or the General List. Symbol Buttons can be set to any Window corner. Other options can be configured for button layout and appearance. {image} {file} {file} {file}
Hello. I tried to test this indicator on MT5 and the buttons appear to select the chart of my interest, but when I select a Pair, the buttons disappear and don't appear again. They only appear once when I insert the indicator.

Added a ZOrder option. (Mainly only needed for when there are multiple indicators competing for Chart click priority.) MT4 and MT5 versions with source are included. {image} {file} {file} {file}
Hi I am using this indicator since a couple of weeks and is working amazing, many thanks for sharing!
The only issue I have found, when drawing a trendline/rectangle/object on one symbol for technical analysis, the same trendline appears on the new symbol too.
That leads to a chart with a mess of trendlines that does not belong to the related symbol.
You can try for instance on WTI and BRENT charts, as they go on similar price ranges, the trendlines overlap.
A fix could be to store manually created trendlines/horizontal lines/rectangles data on global variables, then delete and recreate every time only the objects drawn originally on a particular symbol.

I modified and created mql5 version of Buttons indicator, which I posted in 2017. I don't know, who is the original author. Features: 1. Timeframe and symbol buttons, 2. Any window/subwindow and corner, 3. Optional On/Off button, 4. Can get symbols from Market Watch, 5. Supports symbol suffix. If you want to create a new empty subwindow for buttons, you can use "New SubWindow" indicator. {image} SetSymbol indicator (only symbols), created by idiamond,...

Hi, buttons don't disappear in separate window in build 3320 for me.
Upload the template for this chart here, also upload any additional indicators if there are such, I will take a look in it.

Moreover, your spread showing indicator didn't update spread number on the chart, you never noticed it?
I quickly modified your indicators and fixed these 2 problems.

Hi Botan626,

Please will you fix this indicator for me too. It shows the "template name" bottom right corner and deletes symbols from the symbol changer; its a similar issue as with the previous two "watermark" indicators.

Kind Regards

This is NOT a code or indicator request thread. You should've asked me in private messages.

This indicator is misbehaving in my MT5 charting platform. When I click on a pair symbol, it won't work initially, then suddenly it opens multiple charts of the one I clicked initially. Had to remove it now though...
