Support & resistance - Customizing Barry lines

hi

can someone change horizontal shape of dotted lines to just plain horizontal lines with customizable thickness. i hate the current star dotted look of s & R (Barry) lines.

Kindly add ' lookback period ' of candles or minutes as in how many candles or minutes we want to look back for S & R to be drawn.


thanks & regards

Hi ,

Please try this one .

hi sohocool

thanks for your prompt response & efforts, i am looking for something like below :-

guys please include an option for lookback period as well to choose how many candles or minutes we want to look back for S & R, it will be very nice and simply a visual treat

i had to use paint to delete rest of the horizontal part of the lines as drew them through horizontal line option given in mt4 menu on top to make you understand what exactly i am looking for :-

You do realize the indicator you posted does not come close to doing that just by converted dots to lines.
What you want is way more complicated.

so do you mean to say. even if i leave the option of having a look back period, converting dots into lines is difficult as shown in above chart ?


regards

Just cause i was bored...........You can pick the TimeFrame and added the "LookBack" which just adds the number to the number of candles...blah blah blah lol...And like the last member said it is harder then just changing the dots to lines to get it to show like you wish...

after an extensive search, found what i was looking for, but it doesn't effectively identifies S & R, some does & others doesn't.

i am posting text inside mq4 below which hints at adding more line index, even after addition, something is wrong ...

This indicator has only one parameter: lineIndex = 1,...,20
// In order to make it work you will have to place 20 indicators
// all with different parameter values. A chart template
// with 20 indicators of this type is included for
// your convenience.
//
// There are two global variable that you might want to set before running this script:
//
// "sr_last_screens" - number of last screens to start drawing s/r lines from
// One screen is assumed to have 150 bars/candles
// If you specify global value 2 it will mean that 300 candles back s/r lines
// can be started only. Using this parameter should improve performance significantly.
//
// "sr_spread_multiple" - number of (Bid-Ask) spreads to use as a delta when merging two s/r
// lines together. If you specify value 2 and current spread is 0.0003 then two lines within
// 6 pips will be merged into one. You might want to increase this parameter if you are
// planning to use bigger time-frames (for instance, for hourly charts you might need 5-10
// spreads to use as a delta in order to unclutter the screen). By default, it is set to 1.5 spreads.
//
// !!! After applying global variables or after recompiling this script it is necessary to
// de-select the chart template and then select it again to apply a new.
//
// Also, some parameters are defined as constants in the code
// and can be changed sensibly. These parameters cannot be made external
// because they need to be exactly the same on all instances of the indicator.
//
// MAX_NUM_LINES is a number of indicators on a chart
// If you think that 20 is overkill try to reduce this constant and
// accordingly delete some of the indicators from the chart template
// It might be enough to have 10, but if you notice that some lines are
// not drawn where they should be - increase the number (make it even bigger than 20)
// The point is - always maintain the same number of indicators
// on the chart al with different indices
//
// MAX_PERCENT_OUT is how far from the last price potential s/r lines
// should be maintained (I think 3% is quite enough for intraday, but...)
//
// DELTA_PERIODS a number of candles/bars after which s/r lines "expire"
// indicator script discards old line and stops drawing them to the right.
//
// DEFAULT_NUM_SCREENS how many screens back shell we start the first s/r line
// if the global variable "sr_last_screens" is not defined or invalid


thanks & regards

I think you might find the S/R indicator that Hanover created to be more comprehensive. Lot's more settings etc.

See here: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=204276

thanks a lot for the effort sebastian, unfortunately i persist to find a solution to the SR lines indicator as i find it neat on the chart, recent S & R is excellant but i feel it messes up with too many lengthy lines, chart becomes crowded & i want to focus on price around ma's most of the times. i do not enter on basis of S & R but use resistance to gauge a safe TP for an exit.

if you put both indicators on chart, you"ll know what i mean

warm regards

anyone ?

why not draw the lines manually? then you will have them exactly as you want

try this one

bud, you wouldn' t believe the kind of schedule i am in, i enter a position at lightening speed & once see ea has setup SL & TP, all i see is TP isn't in the way of a resistance level & i am gone with the wind, ..boom to work

by the time you will end up drawing three support & resistance lines, i am already gone leaving a position to be handled by the ea

regards
.Hawk.

anyone ?

programmers, kindly help

i would love the plain thin lines on chart for S & R, customisable in colors & thickness

Apologies to Hawk for hijacking his thread however as I am a Junior member I can't create my own threads yet.

I've googled for a good half a day online and this thread is the closest to what I need.

It is very simple => All I need is an indicator that will draw a line, no zig zag just 1 full continuos line at the high and low of EVERY candle up to x number of candles. X being the variable.

I used to learn programming like 15 years ago and I tried to program this but I know now the reason why I didn't pursue this field.

Appreciate if anyone can point me to where I can find such an indicator if it does exist.

Many thanks!

P.S. Apologies again Hawk for hijacking your thread. *bow*

mate,

i have a day high low indicator which draws lines continuously on prev day's high low .. maybe you can simply get it modified to your requirements

.Hawk.

Apologies for the late reply. Many thanks Hawk!

Hy Guys

I have support and resistance indicator with alert by Barry. This indicator alert when a support or resistance is formed. Currently this indicator can only alert on trend reversal, higher low and lower high.

I will like someone to add an alert when the market price breaks or equals to a recent support or resistance level (doted levels)

After this modification this indicator should be able to alert when a higher high or lower low is formed. hh and ll shows the start of a trend or trend continuation, hl and lh is for trend confirmation.

Thanks in Advance.

Barry sup res with alerts finally found it by mistake!you can load the Barry support to get the lines of stars as well (Attached as well)
And here I was about to write my own

havent tested the alerts yet as it is monday morning and no sup/res crosses

I know alot of ppl dont like Barry's sup res based on fractals but for those who do
sharing (not my work)
