I didn't see any errors in mt4 journal either while loading the indicator so unsure of a solution.
Would greatly appreciate if you could take a look and see if there is a solution for this. thanks in advance if you do

I manage to get this working by disabling all lines that had "ObjectsDeleteAll(0,OBJ_RECTANGLE);". I can now draw rectangles. It works how I want it to work and I can now draw rectangles and they don't disappear. I have not seen any consequences for removing those lines from the code.

here is the updated version. EDIT: it seems those lines of code with conjunction with other lines of codes, deletes All rectangles per tick. I noticed it doesn't deleted the rectangles when the market is closed, which means there is some per tick statements in the code. I'm not a coder, I just used slight common sense and started disabling anything with Delete or rectangle in the Code and I eventually found this solution that worked for me. This might not work for everyone, and if it doesn't I suggest asking someone else on the forum to check it out further.
