I'm sure this is a very silly question but I'm new to MT4.
How do I stop trendlines, horizontal lines, fibs and other objects from being removed from chart every time the chart closes a bar on M1 or M5 timeframes?

Thanks for any advice.

It's an indicator your runnning that has a piece of code that likely says ObjectsDeleteAll().
It does that to clear objects it created, but really should have been more precise and delete only the objects it created with ObjectDelete("objectname").

Thanks very much.

That is certainly what is happening. This typical of all indicators or just poorly written ones?

Cheers

so, is the solution simply to replace the first "command" [ ObjectsDeleteAll() ]
with the latter [ ObjectDelete() ] ?
Thanks!

No.

You also need to tell it exactly *which* ones of the many objects to delete. The indicator is poorly written. Throw the indicator away. Don't expect an indicator written by someone who cannot program at all (not even a little bit) to be of any use for you.

Ok, thanks!
i'll try to look for that indicator & probably post it here. the changes (we may do) within the code would probably be educational for me & somebody else.
