Hello my friends,

I use a stochastic indicator which (as with most indicators) allows me to change the line widths. I change them to the thin line width that I prefer and the indicator looks great. Then, if I close my platform, when I reopen it all of the lines that I reset are wide again. This is annoying to have to change them at the beginning of each trading session. I have saved my chart (with the lines thin) as a template and even then when I reapply the template there they are...fat again!

How can I get them to stay thin (actually I have this same problem with my own physique as well!!)?

THANK YOU!!

Sal

Inserted Code
SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_HISTOGRAM,STYLE_SOLID,[b][color=Red]3[/color][/b],indicator_color1);
Change the "3" which I coloured red for you to "1" .
Result:
SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_HISTOGRAM,STYLE_SOLID,1,indicator_color1);

Do the same for
Inserted Code
SetIndexStyle(1,DRAW_HISTOGRAM,STYLE_SOLID,[color=Red]3[/color],indicator_color2);
SetIndexStyle(2,DRAW_HISTOGRAM,STYLE_SOLID,[color=Red]3[/color],indicator_color3);
SetIndexStyle(3,DRAW_HISTOGRAM,STYLE_SOLID,[color=Red]3[/color],indicator_color4);
Then compile again and you will have the thin histogram lines.

Edit: I attach the modified indicator for you
