lock indicator layering

[dtaylor]

The trend line indicaotr is allways ending up in front of my bars & when I shift select it to move it behind the bars, it's allways draging the other indicators with it. Is there a way I can lock them once I have them layered the way I want?

Hello dtaylor,

At this time there is not a way to guarantee the indicator load order for the Zorder (layering) to be constant. Indicators can specify in their code a specific layer however items that do not specify that will be applied as they are loaded.

The only way to make it load the same every time would be to duplicate that indicator and edit its code to specify a zorder.

To move it behind the bars always would require using less than 1 as the zorder index, for example SetZOrder(-1);
