Did you write those indicators, or did you buy them?

They may be ChartOnly, and/or with no exposed Plots.

they were bought, and they plot on the chart

Basically, you either ask the code-writer or examine the source code. That is the only way to be certain.

The other way is the WYSIWYG: you cannot use a ChartOnly indicator in a Strategy, so it is not listed in the Wizard or Intellisense.

"ChartOnly" means what it says: you can only use the indicator in a chart, for visual purposes only.

i see, i'll gonna pass the next weeks revising the code, and see what can i do. thanks for your time man.
