I have not tried arrows on Expert. However I have tried placing a 'B' for buy and 'S' for sell on the chart after opening the buy or sell. Here is the code that I use.
int mObjs; // at the beginning where you declare the variables.
Then after opening a Buy,
mObjs=ObjectsTotal()+1;
ObjectCreate(""+mObjs, OBJ_TEXT, 0, Time[0], Ask);
ObjectSetText(""+mObjs, ""+"B", 8, "Arial", Yellow);
After opening a sell,
mObjs=ObjectsTotal()+1;
ObjectCreate(""+mObjs, OBJ_TEXT, 0, Time[0], Bid);
ObjectSetText(""+mObjs, ""+"S", 8, "Arial", Red);
Nothing really fancy, but it gives a visual indication when the order was placed.
