Hello, is there way to adjust the thickness of a dotted or dashed line of a horizontal line or a moving average? if not by default, do you guys know of a way to do it through a script of some sort? i'd like to be able to do this on horizontal lines, trend lines and moving averages.

If you are talking about MT4, then no way. The tickness is only changeable for solid lines. Any other style get the default 1.

Yes, that's right. Now, there must be a way to change that or at least get around it.

There is away to get around it however as they are made up of multiple lines they cannot be double clicked and moved.

Is there a way to make a dashed line moving averages with adjustable thickness?

I tried with a moving average it does not work the same as horizontal lines so I suspect it cannot be done.

How can it be done with horizontal lines? Also, do you know of an indicator which produces a horizontal ray? Sort of like a gann line which is horizontal but doesn't ever change angle. I have been longing for this feature for a long time but i haven't found a solution.
