Rectangle extension indicator modification

Hello,

I like the attached indicator, only problem is that I have to keep naming rectangles MyBox1, MyBox2..etc in order for it to work
and extend the rectangles to the right margin.

Can someone modify this indicator so that it extends any rectangle I draw on the chart without having to name it?

Thanks!

This error line keeps coming up on the experts tab:

Extend_Box EURUSD,H4: object name passed to ObjectType function cannot be an uninitialized or empty string


Do you know why?

Anyone know a fix?

Thanks.

Try changing
for(int i = ObjectsTotal()+1; i >= 0; i--)
to
for(int i = ObjectsTotal()-1; i >= 0; i--)

Hey fxtrade13,

Thanks for the simple but useful indicator. Can you modify the indi so that rectangles can be extended a little bit longer?

Hello,

Sorry it took so long to reply. Hadn't noticed your message.

The attached version extends rectangles all the way to the end.

Let me know if that is what you're looking for.

Best regards.

Is it possible to set a number of bars forward to extend the box to ?
I mean not all the way to the right hand edge.
Thanks.

This indicator now extends rectangles totally to the right edge. Is it possible to code it to extend only a few bars to the right of current price ?

With the attached indicator, now you can input how far to the right you want the rectangle to extend.

Hi,

I understand that the attached indicator was first coded by 'futurespec' and later modified by 'fxtrade13' to this version. My regards to both of them.

I draw rectangle manually in history in ranging market and I use this indicator to extend the rectangle in real time to the right of the chart. Since this is drawn to see the side ways market pice range, current price will be inside this rectangle.

It will be greatly appreciated if somebody can add 'AUDIO ALERT CODE' to the indicator so that it will alert whenever the price breaks above or below the rectangle without need for manual input of upper & lower price

Check if you named the Boxes Mybox1 and MyBox2. The indie developed by "futurespec" works
