Hi Hayseed,

Your indicator is an excellent virtual order plotter. If you can modify by including averaging into it, it will be a complete plotter.

There is another indicator which does averaging by displaying shadow between the Market Price and Trade done. The shadow reflects profit , breakeven ( shows 0 pips) and loss (negative pips) . By seeing negative pips I can plot adding lots and total pips risk to make it closer to 0 by averaging positions. This indicator works only in case of a real-time trade and no advance planning can be done for pending orders.

Your indicator provides a trading plot in advance and maps out positions for possible trailing stops, adding positions on pullback, taking partial profits, etc. etc. The pyramid can be visualised and planned manually with the help of your indicator. You have already given provision for having separate sub-plot for Up and Down directions. If you could modify it then it will become a money manager and target planner overlay for trading on Murrey Math/Fibo strategy/Support and Resistance
and similar strategies.

If you think it is feasible ( I am not a coder ) and worth your time and effort I will prepare the proposed inputs and send you.

Those two markers are just about perfect. That is an awesome ability to have available to you. My well done to you. I can get inside a mq4 content and change preset levels and hues, and so on yet to make one starting with no outside help has evaded me. I know, one simply needs to go and invest the energy to end up noticeably adroit at it, isn't that so? Be that as it may, there are sufficiently not hours in the day. Presently, on the off chance that I could make sense of how to get by on no rest at all.

hahaha...i like your comment hayseed...i caught you well before another 10yrs... nice to see you around....i love this indi, my big thanks goes to you if not whoever did the coding....this indi will be very handy for me if it can be related to time... what i mean by that is...assuming we are on an hourly chart and at the close of the hourly candle say 1800 the indi measures the HL of the closed candle and draws the grid lines......appreciate if any coder can help on this, if it does not exist already.....thanks as always...cheers

hey shinewel...... here it is with the time/bar feature you mentioned..... if you set usehighlow to true, you can select a timeframe and a shift back..... if you want to evenly space the lines on that bar alone, set evenlyspace to true......


in one chart below i chose the 43200 (month) timeframe and chose shift of 2.......... in another chart i used the evenlyspaced option to evenly space the lines above and below the bars midpoint on the 43200 chart 2 bars back......

once drawn they should stay drawn if you specify a timeframe..... 43200, 10080, 1440, 240, 60 and so on......h

Hi Hayseed,

Can you please have magic no input or something else in the input so that two indicators can be used on the chart. If Draw up is true for 5 grid, I want to draw draw down for 3 grid. That is the intention. thank you.

Greetings to all ....

Re: this indicator works pretty well for what you need ( simple horizontal grid indicator)
..... a simple indicator from seun4forex post number 40

simplehorizontalgrid.mq4 8 KB | 708 downloads

I like this indicator very much .... ( I have spent most of my morning looking and testing a variety of similar apps ).

What I would like to do is change the colour of the levels. As it stands I am unable to change colour of the levels.

Can anyone arrange for me, and possibly for others ?

Many thanks for all who reply ....
Good Trading to All ---- fairwind

Hi hayseed,
Can you please insert an identity code input like a magic number type in the last updated Quickdraw indicator to enable the grid indicator to be set up twice on the chart with different start price and different Pip 01 distances ?
It will facilitate having two independent grids flexible with different distances, start prices and Pip 01 distance to plan for manual buy stop, buy limit, sell stop and sell limit.
Thanks.

hello guys I was looking for an indicator that would give me the average profit of 2 or more losing positions a sort of manual grid like I open the first sell the price goes up I open the second sell I set a profit plus the average when the price goes there it closes everything, could it be created? then also with the function that calculates the current price on the orders that are already in so it already tells me a good zone to close everything, thanks

This is not what you requested, but it does draw a line at Breakeven, so may help someone...
