These indicators will display a vertical line at a certain time. These time-based indicators automatically handle Daylight Saving Time and broker conversions. Supported brokers are:
Alpari (UK), Alpari (US), Avail Trading Corp, BroCo, Citi FX, Dukascopy,
EuroOrient, FX Solutions, FXCM, FXDD, FXOpen, GAIN Capital, Go Markets, Interbank FX, MB Trading, Peregrine Financial Group, Varengold, MF Global FX, CFH Markets
VerticalLineDayOpen.ex4
---------------------------
Displays a vertical line at the start of each day. A day is assumed to start at 17:00 New York Time.
VerticalLineWeekOpen.ex4
---------------------------
Displays a vertical line at the start of each week. A week is assumed to start at 17:00 New York Time on Sunday.
VerticalLineMonthOpen.ex4
---------------------------
Displays a vertical line at the start of each month.
This indicator will display a vertical line at a certain time. Supported brokers are the same as previously mentioned.
For this one, you specify the time of day and the "Currency Time Zone". Valid Currency Time Zones are listed in the inputs section. Again, the indicator will handle all Daylight Saving Time and Broker Time Zone conversions.
If you want to draw a vertical line each day when the time is 08:00 in London, you would set
estrTime = 08:00
estrCcyTZ = GBP
If you want to draw a vertical line each day when the time is 12:00 in New York, you would set
estrTime = 12:00
estrCcyTZ = USD
If you want to draw a vertical line each day when the time is 10:00 in Tokyo, you would set
This is the simplest of all scripts. I find it very annoying when you remove an indicator, EA, or script from a chart and the Comment line is still populated. The developer did not clear the Comment line in the deinit() function. This script will clear the comment for you. Again, very simple (literally just 1 line of code) but a quick way to clear the comment.
PairData-BarTime
----------------------
I run this script each "new" time I open MT4. It makes sure I always have up-to-date M1 data for all pairs. It can be added to any chart and will run against M1 data.
RangeBarScript2
----------------------
This is a script that creates range bars (well, my version of range bars). It loops through all pairs that your broker offers (of the 28 non-exotic pairs) and creates/updates the range bar timeframe for each pair.
I use this script in my own trading. To be honest, I use a more complex version than what I am providing here. This script has made a huge difference in my profitability. You can choose to run this in history mode, live mode, or both.
ScrollToDate
-------------
Use this script to scroll multiple charts to a certain time.
Step 1 - Add the script to a chart and set eblnMaster to true. This is your main chart. The script will create a Vertical Line called "VL-ScrollToDate".
Step 2 - Add the script to any secondary charts you want to automatically scroll to the date of the master chart. Set eblnMaster to false on all of these charts.
Step 3 - Move the Vertical Line "VL-ScrollToDate" on the Master chart and all secondary charts will have a Vertical Line placed on the same date and will scroll to that date.
The scrolling may be flakey sometimes, but for the most part it works. This script is very helpful when reviewing history, especially with basket trades.
RSICrossPriceLive
--------------------
Used for live trading, this will show the price needed to hit the user-defined RSI values. The indicator calculates the price needed to be reached for the RSI value to reach the user-defined levels.
RSICrossPriceLive2
--------------------
Same idea as above, but this one displays in a visually different way. This one allows you to easily display the RSI-cross prices for multiple timeframes.
RSICrossPriceHist
-----------------
This one shows the history for the RSI-cross prices. This one is a little resource intensive, thus the limit on the bars to be processed.
This indicator is confusing... I want to select an EXACT time of the day to draw the lines without being bothered about GBP, JPY... timezones whatever... and I also don't want to be bothered about DST settings. I just want an indicator that will draw a line on every time that I specify.

mindreality,
Thank you very much for stopping by to give me your unsolicited opinion of my VerticalLineTimeOfDay indicator. I will make sure that the next version of the indicator is so simple that even an idiot can use it.
I'm sorry, but I will not share the source code of my confusing and bothersome indicator. You have two choices: decompile the ex4 file or actually spend some time to figure out that you can do what you are asking in about 5 lines of code.
Finally there is somebody who is even more arrogant than me. I didn't know that this was even possible. Congratulations!

Arrogance has nothing to do with it. I shared a very robust indicator with the forum only to have someone reply that it is too confusing and bothersome for him to use. There was no "thank you for posting", no "I tried the indicator, but would you mind making a little fix for me". There was none of that...just "can you post the mq4, your indicator is too confusing and I can't be bothered with the additional user inputs that you included in it". Now, THAT is not only arrogant, but also quite rude.
My "idiot" response was in direct response to mindreality's request for a "dumbed-down" version of the indicator. If my use of the term "idiot" has offended you in some way, well then, I am truly sorry.

That is without a doubt an idiotic response. No need to bother about helping others when you are not doing it with the proper attitude. People will only thank you when they are getting what they want, not what they don't want. You are not really doing this to help people, but rather to feed your own ego with expected praise and appreciation, and you would get annoyed when you are not getting it. I have seen truly helpful people in this forums who deserve thanks. True help is helping others with their needs, and not offering whatever it is you feel like offering. Your "help" would simply create more problems than they solve. If you can come to an understanding of this fact, you will know what true humility is.

Mindreality I don't see you asking nice for help so why should he help You ?
You are right. I could have been nicer about the way I asked.
There were several factors that were bugging me about the way the indicator which actually creates more problem for its use. I was already trying to focus on solving one problem.
Anyway there is no should or shouldn't when it comes to helping. It's up to others whether they want to help or not, but when they do help, they should do it according to the need of whoever that is looking for help.
But the response that I got back was totally uncalled for.
I was merely expressing my thoughts about what I want and don't want. I did not use any name calling, and I did not make any insults. What I said was perfectly fine whether it was considered "nice" or not.

All I am asking for is just a little courtesy on my thread.
BTW, discussing humility with an "anonymous" person on the web is tough to do - you have no idea what I have been through in my life.
We've had our soap opera for today, time to move on.

Alright, can I Please have the mq4 file of the indicator, and could you make a version which simply draws a line on a certain time of the day on the mt4 platform without any dst or timezone settings, if you could be so kind to do so? I would very much appreciate it.
