Push the symbol button on one chart and all the other open charts will change to the same symbol regardless of chart TF.
This is helpful when you have two or more charts open and like to undertake MTF analysis of a symbol.

This function can also be switched off so that pressing a button changes the symbol only for the chart whose button you press.

Instead of manually changing the template of all open charts or all charts in a profile, simply drag this script onto any chart, key the template number you wish to apply, press OK, and all charts will change to your nominated template.

0 refers to the first template in your list of templates; 1 to the second template; and so on

A simple ADR utility showing:

  1. average daily range in pips (over the number of days you nominate)
  2. today's move in pips
  3. and the % of today's move relative to the average


As a general rule, do not trade into the ADR's extreme.

but this one here is worth a look also.

If you like a bit of space above and below your price bars and you tire of dragging the vertical axis around
then automatically scale charts with this handy utility.

Except for the "template changer" (post 4) which goes into the scripts folder, all the others so far sit in the indicators folder.

That said, I think of them more as utilities than "classic indicators", hence the threads title.

PeterE, thank you for your Daily Range indicator. I am using it for years and saw it on the charts of many other people as well. Now replaced it with your newest one.

Here is a couple of useful utilities that I am liking and using them for a long time.

1. Complete Order Entry. Here is the download link: https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/10332. It is a very convenient way to enter single orders where you can drag entry, stop loss and take profit lines on the chart. A beautiful piece of work by Min Li.

Another one is the indicator My Exposure: https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/5050
It is a must have if you trade multiple orders/currency pairs at the same time.

Another tool that I use is Breakeven Line indicator. Once you have multiple orders running it draws a breakeven line of the chart. It is always wrong for a couple of pips but still gives the visual idea of where is the breakeven for a multiple orders situation.

It is a simple tool to measure the length of a bar with a minimum pip threshold.

If a coder also puts an input for threshold of maximum pip, it will be easy to identify consolidation pattern.

For averaging, breakeven visuals nothing to beat one from Mt4 grand-daddy Igorad.

Trades Indicator

*Updated as previous version had a trial lock*

Displays total amount of trades taken per day on the chart.

Very useful if you need a quick visual of how many times you've hit the buy / sell button that day. A nice heads up to help prevent over trading.

Displays Symbol or All Symbols.
Digits will turn Orange at "X" trades. Default 10.
Digits will turn Red at "X" number of trades. Default 20.

Can be moved anywhere on the chart (inc sub window where I use it).

Counter resets at midnight broker time.

Enjoy.
