Unknown subwindow number -1 Error

Hi guys,

I've added indicator "10.2 TMA slope v.1.4B 4.30" to simple EA but it seems impossible to back test it. It makes a lot of errors "10.2 TMA slope v.1.4B 4.30 EURUSD,H1: unknown subwindow number -1 for ObjectCreate function".

Does anyone know how can I test it without that error? I understand this indicator would need to be updated, but where?

I have struck this problem before if you are using an iCustom call in your EA and the indicator that is being called has a text element in it then you get that warning, just delete the indicator text and see if that fixes it.
Trade what you see not what you hope

unknown subwindow number -1 for ObjectCreate function".
When you open the objects List, do you see the 3 labels belonging to a window #1 ?
If they show normally, that means the indicator at least,"knows" it's own window number for graphics placement.
Are you sure the iCustom() call in the EA spells the name right?

Thanks guys. I removed all text labels from the code and it works okay now.

Hi ncc, I´m havving the same problem as you did before. Can you tell me please what lines did you erase from the indicator code ?
Are you interested in sharing the EA you created with this custom indi ? Did it worked properly ?
I could share mine with you after I fix this issue.
Tks

Thanks CodeMeister. I got it already. I did the same as ncc (erased the label lines). But I still want to know if his EA worker well and which mode did he use in the iCustom. ´Cause mine is repainting a lot and theenter order occurs much after the movement.
