Drawing horizontal line on only one timeframe

i have 6 gbpusd charts open in 1 platform....15m, 1hr, 4hr, daily, weekly and monthly. when i draw a no. of lines on any one of the time frames, i notice that when i scroll up on one of the other charts/timeframes those same lines are there too. can anyone tell me how i can draw multiple horizontal lines on say the 1hr chart without those lines appearing on any other chart......i know i can select "show on all time frames" and check the corresponding time frame but this gets laborious when dealing with multiple lines across multiple charts/timeframes....

any help kindly appreciated.

thanks

Try this script. place both files in your mql\scripts folder.

to use drag the script onto the chart where you want the line to be and a line will be drawn

Each time frame has its own colour and any line will appear on the current timeframe and the one below it.

The colours for each tf are in common.mqh

I cannot get this to work, mq4 file is script folder and mqh file is include folder, is that correct ?

edit: Got it to work now, but tried changing the colours in the mqh file, not working.
Also is there supposed to be text on the line as per timeframe drawn ?
It never gets easier, you just get better

No. I use the colour to tell me what TF the line was drawn on. As I always use the same colours, I don't need a label

Yes, you are right. Try this one.
