Complex indicators with 70+ buffers and 30+ plots often fail on maintainability due to manual SetIndexBuffer numbering. A small change in draw order, such as moving a filling background behind a candle plot, can force renumbering dozens of bindings and recalculating plot-to-buffer offsets, including extra color buffers.

A wrapper class named CPlotManager is used to automate plot hierarchy and buffer allocation. Plots are added in the required draw order, while the class computes indices, binds buffers, and applies styling without large property blocks for colors and widths.

Typical usage keeps the indicator properties limited to total plot and buffer counts, includes the helper file, then creates the manager in OnInit() and registers plots sequentially. Z-order changes become a simple reordering of add calls.
