I have coded a number of indicators with several outputParameters where I set the default colors for the outputs in indicator onStart(). It appears beyond a certain number of outputs (10 or more?) if you reload the JForex platform that the default colors/line styles are rearranged!

default colors for the indicator as set in OnStart method


and here is the indicator on the chart with the correct default colors....


and after a JForex platform restart all the line colors and style have changed...

   
    private Color RoyalBlue = new Color(65, 105, 225);
    private Color Crimson = new Color(220, 20, 60); 
    private Color DarkGray = new Color(85, 85, 85);
    private Color DemiBlack = new Color(64, 64, 64);
    private Color Orchid = new Color(218, 112, 214);

this is a big time waster if you setup your charts to provide at a glance color coded information for trading...
can we get it fixed with the next release of the JForex platform please?

why has this not yet been accepted as a bug? this is a serious issue with custom indicators on the desktop platform.

with desktop 2.14 this can bug can be reproduced by simply right clicking on the chart indicator list to remove the indicator, then right clicking on the chart list header to add recent indicators, and add the same indicator back. Colors for outputs will randomly change.

We are unable to see the problem. The output parameters are saved every time you change them. Have you cleaned JAVA cache?

No. Happy to try that though. How do I clear my java cache?

See picture please.

Cleared my java cache and the problem can still be reproduced. I have attached an indicator I wrote to automatically mark fibonacci retracements.



Add the indicator, then remove it from the chart by right-clicking and selecting "remove indicator" in the workspace pane, then add the indicator back by right clicking on the chart instrument title in the workspace pane and add recent indicators. The colors for the indicator outputs have changed (been re-arranged) on the chart. Sometimes it's just one output, other times multiple outputs.

This also happens on re-start of the JForex platform.

Will fix this

Fixed. Available in 2.14.27 version.
