I will code your EAs and Indicators for no charge

Quoting Efficacy

This actually isn't EA related; it's just a simple indicator I'd like to have made if anyone has the spare time. I'd simply like a indicator that can take the D1 candle from a selectable number of bars back and put out this information for each weekday separately:
Average Volume
Average Hi-Low Range
Average Open-Close Range
The average open-close range divided by the average hi-low range to give a percentage


I'm terrible with programming but I think the information alone should be easy to formulate, but the tricky part might be separating...

Something like this?
What it is is the range per month over the last 12 years with an average in far right column. And I suppose with a little bit of work and some time it could be made to display the day of week stats. But would obviously not be for the last 12 years it, would be for X Bars back.
It's not an indicator but a script which if dropped onto a chart will create an HTML file that looks like this.

Yes, basically this exactly! Like you said, instead of Jan - Dec, it'll be Sunday - Monday (or whatever order you feel haha). Instead of 12 years, it could be selected number of days/bars back. Actually, if possible it'd be even better to have it be able to do date to date; that is, instead of just bars back to present, it could be a set date to another set date so that historical info can be looked at as well as current. It printing into an html report works great because then you can choose different date ranges and compare them to each other...

If you increment your loop instead of decrement this will do as you requested. Essentially it repaints.

for(int ii=0; ii<Bars; ii++){

Hello. still learning...
im trying to set horizontal lines on the 1 hourly chart for the highest close and lowest close with in a number of bars, for example 5 bars.

im using the folowing for this:

double hc5 = Close[iHighest(Symbol(),PERIOD_H1,MODE_CL OSE,5,1)];
double lc5 = Close[iLowest(Symbol(),PERIOD_H1,MODE_CLO SE,5,1)];

I simply want to draw two lines at these levels (hc5 and lc5).
And im not being succesful at all.

Could someone help me with this?
much appreciated !

Your code looks OK to me, you need to use these values when you ObjectCreate() or ObjectSet() the lines . . . show the rest of your code please.

hello Raptor
Thank you for your time

this is what im doing in the code;
keeping it simple so i can learn coding. thats the aim here....

#property indicator_chart_window

double hc5;   //  globally declared

int init()
   {
   hc5 = Close[iHighest(Symbol(),PERIOD_H1,MODE_CLOSE,5,1)];
   }

int start()
   {
   ObjectCreate(hc5, OBJ_HLINE, 0, Time[1], hc5);
   ObjectSet(hc5, OBJPROP_STYLE, STYLE_SOLID);
   }

int deinit()
   {
   ObjectsDeleteAll();
   return(0);
   }

Quoting RaptorUK

OK, some general comments first:

don't use ObjectsDeleteAll(), it's lazy, if anyone else tries your indicator on their chart it will not only remove your Object but any of their Objects too, by all means delete your Objects in deinit(), but just delete your own

don't be afraid to use blank spaces and lines to separate functions and other bits of code or variables, they all get taken out when the code is compiled so your ex4 will be no bigger but your code will be easier to read

specific comment:

you are setting the variable hc5...

UPDATE:
ok, i tried it with your code Raptor but its not drawing a line
this is frustrating lol.

Does it draw for you ?
Or do you see anything we are still forgetting?

ObjectCreate("hc5", OBJ_HLINE, 0, Time[1], hc5);
ObjectSet("hc5", OBJPROP_STYLE, STYLE_SOLID);

#property indicator_chart_window

double hc5;   //  globally declared

int init()
   {
   hc5 = Close[iHighest(Symbol(),PERIOD_H1,MODE_CLOSE,5,1)];
   }

int start()
   {
   ObjectCreate("hc5", OBJ_HLINE, 0, Time[1], hc5);
   ObjectSet("hc5", OBJPROP_STYLE, STYLE_SOLID);
   }

int deinit()
   {
   ObjectDelete("hc5");
   return(0);
   }

Quoting RaptorUK

This works . . .

#property indicator_chart_window

double hc5;   //  globally declared

int init()
   {
   hc5 = Close[iHighest(Symbol(),PERIOD_H1,MODE_CLOSE,5,1)];
   }

int start()
   {
   if(ObjectFind("hc5") == -1)    // if Object hc5 doesn't already exist 
      ObjectCreate("hc5", OBJ_HLINE, 0, Time[1], hc5);    // create it

   ObjectSet("hc5", OBJPROP_TIME1, Time[1]);
   ObjectSet("hc5", OBJPROP_PRICE1, hc5);
   ObjectSet("hc5", OBJPROP_STYLE, STYLE_SOLID);
   }

int deinit()
   {
   ObjectDelete("hc5");
   return(0);
   }

But it's a bit naughty because for each tick it creates an Object that already exists, so you should actually do this . . .

#property indicator_chart_window

double hc5;          //  globally declared
datetime Bar1Time;   //  time of Bar 1

int init()
   {
   return(0);
   }

int start()
   {
   if(Time[1] != Bar1Time)  //  we have a new bar   
      {
      hc5 = Close[iHighest(Symbol(), PERIOD_H1, MODE_CLOSE, 5, 1)];  // get new value for hc5
      
      if(ObjectFind("hc5") == -1)    // if Object hc5 doesn't already exist 
         ObjectCreate("hc5", OBJ_HLINE, 0, Time[1], hc5);    // create it

      ObjectSet("hc5", OBJPROP_TIME1, Time[1]);
      ObjectSet("hc5", OBJPROP_PRICE1, hc5);
      ObjectSet("hc5", OBJPROP_STYLE, STYLE_SOLID);
      
      
      Bar1Time = Time[1];
      }
      
   return(0);
   }

int deinit()
   {
   ObjectDelete("hc5");
   return(0);
   }

But this is a little pointless, all it does is draw the line and then update it for each tick . . . and the update is the same value because the value has been set during init() . . . this updates the line for each new bar.

[code]#property indicator_chart_window

double hc5; // globally declared
datetime Bar1Time; // time of Bar 1

int init()
{
return(0);
}

int start()
{
if(Time[1] != Bar1Time) // we have a new bar
{
hc5 = Close[iHighest(Symbol(), PERIOD_H1, MODE_CLOSE, 5, 1)]; //...

hey all, i am looking for a simple indicator--simiular to andrews pitchfork---but pre set with 3 lines 0 being the top line---45 pips being the center line----and 90 pips being the lower line--andrews is a pain to set horozontal and keep trying to adjust to theese levels --and can be moved around the chart fixed at theese levels --or adjustable to theese levels---should say its basically a triple horozontal set of three lines that can be placed on the chart and moved around the chart --pre set as one--thanks--Richie
