It's a bit inconsistent, isn't it? I've also seen that if you add a new buffer, it won't appear on the chart after a recompile. I usually remove the indicator and add it back to see the new buffer. I suspect that the code to initialize buffers is only run when the buffer is first allocated and plastered on the screen for us to see. Now this may just be code that is in init(), I've never put it anywhere else. (If I think of it when I am next writing an indicator I'll do some tests.) When you do a recompile, it falls back to using whatever is in the properties section, which is usually blank so you get defaults.garyfritz wrote:Now, if someone could explain to me why recompiling those indicators (before changing ANYthing) makes the histograms have a thickness of 1, and it ignores the Width parameter in the SetIndexStyle() calls, I'd appreciate it... I set it back to a width of 4 in the indicator Properties but I expected the SetIndexStyle() width to work.
I generally fall back to just specifying everything in the properties section, but then you can't have user customization of colors. Luckily, everyone uses the white background like I do.
