[MT4] Changing the visible timeframes of multiple objects?

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if there's a script which would allow me to select multiple objects such as trendlines, rectangles, etc and change on which timeframe they're visible on?

Because the way MT4 currently is, you have to manually change every single object:

That is a good question bippo.

As far as I can tell, such a function is not possible. But, I really do not know for sure.
That would be really useful.

I found your post because I have a similar query.
I am trying to find out if it is possible to duplicate multiple shapes at once, and then move them as a group in unison.

I use three rectangles to analyze my charts each morning, and it would be so much easier if I could copy all three as a set, and slide that new set to the next day.

I think in both these questions, the core is: does MT4 have a function which combines objects to be managed as one unit.
So far, in using mt4 and experimenting with every possibility I can think of, I've not yet found a way.

If anyone else knows one way or the other?...

Standard MQL:
Inserted Code
bool ObjectSet(string label, OBJPROP_TIMEFRAMES, int periodFlags);

with periodFlags being any combination of:
Inserted Code
OBJ_PERIOD_M1      0x0001  Object is shown on 1 minute charts
OBJ_PERIOD_M5      0x0002  Object is shown on 5 minute charts
OBJ_PERIOD_M15     0x0004  Object is shown on 15 minute charts
OBJ_PERIOD_M30     0x0008  Object is shown on 30 minute charts
OBJ_PERIOD_H1      0x0010  Object is shown on 1 hour charts
OBJ_PERIOD_H4      0x0020  Object is shown on 4 hour charts
OBJ_PERIOD_D1      0x0040  Object is shown on daily charts
OBJ_PERIOD_W1      0x0080  Object is shown on weekly charts
OBJ_PERIOD_MN1     0x0100  Object is shown on monthly charts
OBJ_PERIODS_ALL    0x01FF  Object is shown on all timeframes
NULL               0       Object is shown on all timeframes
OBJ_PERIODS_NONE  -1       Object is hidden on all timeframes
Don't know if it's from any interest but here is my "Drawing Toolbox" with many options.

I also use rectangles a lot (see red and blue rectangle objects on the chart) - when you click with the mouse one rectangle objects in the panel (marked yellow) a rectangle object is added to the chart "somewhere". I've included input options so you can set hotkeys for any object from the panel - so I've set letter "A" to a rectangle (red) as hotkey shortcut for example and letter "B" to the 2nd rectangle object and now I simply hover the mouse over the chart region I want to place the rectangle and press "A" and the rectangle is drawn on that place. When "Extend" option is set to yes this rectangle extends automatically when a new bar is printed.

Same with Fibo - I hover the mouse over the bar in the chart where the low/high is and click "F" hotkey shortcut and a fibo object is drawn - my tool finds the low/high automatically.

All the objects you draw from this panel or via hotkey automatically get these periodFlags which emmzett mentioned above.
That means when you draw a rectangle, fibo, trendline,... on a M5 chart - this object is only visible from M5 and below (means you can see it in a M5 and M1 chart only). Do you place an object on a H1 chart it's visible on H1, M30, M15, M5 and M1 - think you get it....

I add my indicator here "as it is now" - there are definitely still some inconsistencies/bugs in there - but for me it's really useful like it is at this stage....

v1.02 has now an extra input for every object where you can decide on which timeframes this object should be visible (3 options available)

hi mister jagg, hope you are doing good there.
I know its off topic, i edited the code for adding few rectangles, but now i need an equidistant channel.
Since I don't have any programming background, the compiler didn't show any error but my channel icon doesn't appear on panel box.

Don't need to be sorry for that mr. jagg, it was my lack of knowledge how to convert ideas into code, so I put many objects on current timeframe and couldnt filter out which object have to be appeared on certain TF. I just realized its damn long like a bill of monthly groceries.

I'm grateful for this mr. jagg.
Thank you very much

You can now choose the corner (and optionally set X-/Yshift values to position wherever you like)
