I dont get this one, if anyone can help much appreciated.

I am simply trying to modify the Support-Resistance(Barry) indicator to change the windings it uses on the fractals to a smaller version.

So simply the code is:
Inserted Code
   SetIndexArrow(0, 115);
   SetIndexArrow(1, 115);
where i have changed the windings from 119 to 115.

So the odd thing is it works - ONLY after i recompile the indicator.
So every time i place it on a chart, its still got the original windings, when i recompile it goes to my modified ones, then if i change TF it reverts back !?

The code is quite small - i cannot see references anywhere to the original windings it is reverting to - any ideas ??

Thx

Not an expert by any means but don't you have to save it as another name?

[code]...
It is hard to tell anything, without the code posted, but the problem in this case is because it is defined in the #property section and again in the SetIndex Function. Get rid of one or the other. If you get rid of the #property define, you can make extern inputs to change it at will.

If you want a more detailed and possibly accurate assessment, post the code, as you have it written.

SetIndexStyle(0, DRAW_ARROW, STYLE_DOT, 1);

change the above line to
SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_ARROW,NULL,1); and the other index as well

EDIT: if you want to control the size, do this

Extern int ArrowSize = 1;
put the above code in the part just after #property_indicator...

Then put in the itnit()

SetIndexStyle(0, DRAW_ARROW, NULL, ArrowSize);
