Do you want to place a Chart objects (OBJ_CHART) on the chart and use it as conventional chart? It’s possible.

The only thing you need is the handle of OBJ_CHART object. Using the Chart Operations you may add and delete indicators (ChartIndicatorAdd() and ChartIndicatorDelete()), set chart Period, Symbol etc.

• Adds a PriceChannel indicator, included in the standard package of the client terminal (located in terminal_data_folder\MQL5\Indicators\Examples);
  
• Creates a subwindow using Subwindow indicator (copy Subwindow.mq5 to terminal_data_folder\MQL5\Indicators);
• Creates an object (in the subwindow) of OBJ_CHART type with chart symbol, but D1 and H4 timeframes;
  
• For each object of OBJ_CHART type it adds a Price_Channel indicator with default parameters and changes background color.
