Knowing styles of drawing lets you combine different methods of information showing in one indicator.

There are 24 built-in graphical objects that can be created via a program. This feature allows to provide indicators and EAs with additional abundant visualization tools. Common object properties like, for example, junction point and object color can be set, as well as properties for an individual graphical object. When some object properties have been changed, the object can be immediately (forcedly) redrawn using the WindowsRedraw() function.

The MessageBox() function allows you to organize the interaction between a program and a user during the execution process directly. Processing return codes of the MessageBox() window allows to guide the program running depending on the button pressed by a user. It makes the program more flexible.
