The series to draw (single-buffer styles).

value

First leg / upper series (two-value styles).

value_a

Second leg / lower series (two-value styles).

value_b

open

high

close

0-based palette index per bar. Values are rounded and clamped to the palette length at draw time.

color_index

Plot draws any wired series on your indicator's chart. Pick one of ten draw styles — line, histograms, arrows, sections, zigzag, filled band, bars, candles, or hidden — and optionally color each bar from a palette.

Connects the values with a continuous line — the classic indicator curve.

Vertical columns from the zero line to each value — momentum and volume shapes.

A vertical segment from value_a to value_b on every bar — spans, ranges, gaps.

A glyph at each non-empty value — signals and event markers. Pick the symbol with arrow_code.

Straight segments connecting non-empty values, skipping empty bars.

Alternating legs between the two value series — swing structure drawing.

Fills the area between the two value series. On MT4 this degrades to the two boundary lines without fill.

OHLC bars from the four wired series. On MT4 this paints columns over the chart candles.

Candlesticks from the four wired series. On MT4 this paints columns over the chart candles.

Computes and exposes the buffer without drawing — feed the data window or iCustom readers silently.

A dashed line. Width above 1 forces solid — a platform rule.

A dotted line. Width above 1 forces solid — a platform rule.

Alternating dashes and dots. Width above 1 forces solid.

A dash followed by two dots. Width above 1 forces solid.

Empty values leave a hole in the histogram instead of drawing a zero-height column.

Empty values draw a zero-height column, keeping the histogram continuous instead of leaving a hole.

Plot is a terminal sink — it draws on the chart and outputs nothing. Nothing can be wired from it.

Draw style — how the wired values render on the chart. Each style claims a different number of plot buffers.

style

Color each bar individually from the palette using the wired color_index. MT5 uses native color buffers; MT4 splits the plot into one masked copy per palette entry.

dynamic_color

Plot name shown in the data window and the iCustom buffer list. Leave empty to derive it from the wired source.

label

Static plot color as #rrggbb. Hidden when dynamic color is on.

color

Ordered list of #rrggbb colors the color_index selects from. Up to 8 colors on MT5, up to 4 on MT4 (each entry costs one plotted buffer there).

palette

Line, histogram, or arrow width in pixels (1–5).

width

Line pattern for line-drawing styles. The platforms force solid when width is above 1.

line_style

Expose this plot's color and width as terminal inputs so the end user can restyle it from the indicator's Inputs tab (static-color plots only).

user_adjustable

Wingdings glyph code (33–255) used by the arrow style.

arrow_code

Vertical offset of the arrow glyph in pixels.

arrow_shift

Skip drawing the first N bars. The default -1 derives N from the wired source's warmup so half-formed values never draw.

draw_begin

Shift the whole plot left or right by this many bars.

shift

How empty values render in histogram continuity: 'gap' leaves a hole (the platform default); 'zero' draws a zero-height column instead.

empty_treated_as

Annotation Object pins a static note to a chart corner: a text label or a rectangle panel, anchored by pixel offsets — it never moves with price.

Offsets measure from the chart's top-left corner.

Offsets measure from the chart's top-right corner.

Offsets measure from the chart's bottom-left corner.

Offsets measure from the chart's bottom-right corner.

A chart-object sink — it draws on the terminal chart and outputs nothing. Nothing can be wired from it.

Annotation shape: text label or rectangle panel.

mode

corner

Horizontal offset from the corner in pixels.

x_offset

Vertical offset from the corner in pixels.

y_offset

text

panel_width

panel_height

The anchor Point (time+price) — wire a zigzag-pattern point handle or any tool emitting the same Point shape.

point

Marker Object places a chart glyph — thumbs, arrows, signs, price tags, buy/sell marks, or a text label — at each confirmed anchor point of a wired structure stream.

A left-pointing price label at the anchor price.

A right-pointing price label at the anchor price.

A custom Wingdings glyph (arrow_code) at the anchor.

The static text content rendered at the anchor.

One object per confirmed anchor, oldest removed beyond the cap.

One object that follows the latest confirmed anchor.

Marker glyph (the single-anchor object family). 'arrow' takes a custom Wingdings code; 'text' renders the static text knob.

How the object tracks the anchor stream: 'stamped' leaves one object per triggering bar (capped by max_objects); 'single' keeps one object moved in place.

placement

Stamped-placement cap: the oldest object is removed once more than this many are on the chart (FIFO).

max_objects

Wingdings glyph code for the generic arrow.
