Hello i am new to mql4 although i am a senior developer, and i am facing some problem with changing the color of the drawn lines, when i put the indicator on the chart everything works fine but when i edit the color lines and width the changes does not take effect. and the lines is always colored Red for some reason. Could anyone show me what am i doing wrong?
Thanks

Do you have a pivot indicator attached already to your chart? If yes, try renaming R3 to something obscure.

Buffers and graphical objects are different things. The color you set in #property indicator_color1 is for the buffers.

Graphical objects color must be set with :

ok i have already tried that and it works fine. But the problem is when you try to edit the colors the changes are not applied when the edit is finished and i have no idea how to get the new color set from the indicator settings.

As said earlier, what you are changing is for the buffers ... not for the graphical objects.

The "color" tab is for R3Buffer[].
