Like in this case https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...2#post14086382, the problem is not with my indicator, the problem is with something else on your side.

Hello,
This is because there is a string length limit for an input field, in which you typed in your symbols. It just doesn't see characters after "NZDJ".
While it totally can be solved programmatically, it will be easier, if you'll place all your desired symbols in the Market Watch, sort them and then use 'MarketWatch_Symbols' option for the 'Which Symbol List' setting.

I am wondering if it is possible to have this create it's own sub-window?This is great work, thanks so much. I had something much like this for mt4 but it opened it's own window and also had time frame buttons. Would you consider any modifications? Thx
Hello, in settings I do not see time-frame changer
Chart window setting is disfunctional: setting to 1 gives nothing

Would you be willing to fix it?
Thank you

Why are you quoting him?
I don't know, which indicator you are talking about, but mine (in the 1st post) doesn't have such problems.

Hello Botan626, ABOUT BUTTONS.MQ5 Thanks a lot for this indicator! Awesome coding! Since I like to have all the options for symbols and timeframes in one separate window, I took the liberty to adjust the settings in the code and save it as a separate version of the indicator (with a new name). I found that I had to make a different 'template' of the indicator for each different window I wanted the indicator to appear in. So window 1 is for the window just under the chart window (which is window 0), window 2 under that again, and so on. The only...
You should have kept all your code modifications solely to yourself, since everything you've done can already be achieved with the original indicator from post #1.

Now re your stupid tips:
1. "The indicator takes in the whole list" -- only if you choose to use 'Get Symbols from Market Watch' option, which you can choose not to use.
What if I'd like to see a chart for a symbol I don't trade?
2. The indicator can not do anything on or with other charts it's not attached to, no matter what unique ids you use on different charts.
Unique ids should be different, if you use two or more indicator instances on the same chart.
3. Why there should be no On/Off button, if buttons are in a separate window? You did it like there is a reason.
On/Off button can be placed (or not placed at all) anywhere on the screen no matter where symbols/timeframes are.

Your post is another good reason, why I will never upload .mq5 file again, like I already did here: https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...1#post14271881
Great first post after 10,5 years of silence on the forum!

I'm quite fascinated to see the symbol and timeframe changer indicator and source code provided in this thread. Great work!
I am wondering if it is possible to program the indicator to change the chart symbol and timeframe automatically e.g. every minute, according to a list of symbol and timeframe. Thanks!

It is totally possible and it is not a hard thing to do at all.
