{quote} thanks for response one picture can you tell you 100 words!. i follow smart money ict orderblock . market consolidate than break up or down and rectagle can measure how many pip?(i know about cross hair) and one more thing market reach to mean that is 50 % of rectagle. now picture which is showing total pips(box/rectagle drawn) and 50%. and more thing if it is possible than share your indicator and template .thanks {image}
Don't know if I got it now but adding a "total pips display" and a 50% level isn't something I'll add at the moment, sorry. (for the 50% level you could take the in build fib tool from my tool)
But you can have a look at the version from jeanlouie here - he added a rectangle with your your mentioned 50% level.

For your question regarding sharing my template - I'll will upload it here eventually later... but it's nothing special...

Hey Jagg! when you have some time ..would you be kind enough to add 3 more rectangles and 3 more lines
Sorry, 5 rectangles and 4 trendlines are enough for me for now
Quoting lupy
..and the following inputs?: - the posibility of adding a shortcut for "toogle" object description - the posibility of adding a predefined length ( in periods of the timeframe that they are drawn ) for the horizontal lines and rectangles? Thanks a Million E.
Please test latest version v1.04

- added keyboard shortcut for toggle the object descriptions on/off (default: "O")
- added width (for rectangles) and length (for trendlines) in bar(s) (when set to "0" -zero- everything is like before)

Also adding here the slightly fixed/changed "timeframe_zoom_per_chart" indicator...

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...
what did you do to make a text label like that? I wonder, cus I failed to create that one.

What do you mean exactly? That's a normal text label (OBJ_LABEL) with an OBJPROP_ANGLE of 90.

{quote} ...only tested when placing the panel left lower/upper - when placing the panel at the right side it's cutted because of the amount of your objects (I haven't the time to digg deeper into that issue sorry) {file}
Hi Jagg
Just passing , some cool coding and it seems many of the indies I like :-)
I did post a color levels before with Toms extender which had an option line to put no as the description which would
avoid rectangle reader, and put $-x for extend by tome and -p to add price. but yours looks great and equidistant is usefull
might be worth having a fib channel as it includes a mid pint :-)
well Happy pips.
ctd
I had to add it to your great mod :-) enjoy

@photize
The auto extend/expand rectangles/trendlines feature is already included in my toolbox (you can set it on/off individually for every object).

Regarding the price label(s) to the right of the object - I don't need that (it would even bother me visually) so I don't think I'll include such a feature in my toolbox.
But you can also set the object description individually for each object in my toolbox - so when you put there your "-P" parameter (and use your mentioned Tom-Expander) you should get the price labels when I understood it correct... (this works for standard mt4 objects - not for the canvas/bitmap generated rectangles)

If anyone can add an alert facility to the trendline tool only in this indicator, optional pop-up & sound alert when price cross over from below or from above and at candle close. Pop up to show name of currency pair, price, & time/date of event. Timeframe not relevant, Will need to activate all trendlines generated by this tool, placed on the chart by user. Indicator attached here: {file} Thanks in advance.
To add an alert to a trendline you simply have to name the object description to "Alert_0" (0 = your wished pip distance) - you can do that manually afterwards or easier take one of the 4 trendlines possible and set here this Alert_xy text in the option (and optionally put your keyboard shortcut for that).

Now you can place that trendline with a "T" key stroke to the chart - you get an alert when price crosses this trendline.

Latest indicator version can be found attached...

I have tried this before, not as elegant as the Custom Levels Tom version, with the price labels. If an alarm could be added to this version would be great.

I've tested this Tom version - this is how a trendline with "-p" parameter looks on my chart (background to small!?)
So the only thing missing in my toolbox is this price label for you?

I dont need all the fib stuff etc. 2 rectangles and 2 trendlines a s you have shown would be brilliant. Just need pop up & sound alarm on the TL tool.

It would also help if the TL alarm did not deactivate after being hit, ie. remains active until deleted manually.

Thanks for looking at it.

timeframe_zoom_per_chart" indicator loads the buttons but clicking the buttons to change time frame does nothing. Is there something I missed or need to do to activate it? (Copied it to the indicators folder and compiled it in MetaEditor. Oanda is my broker). Also doesn't show up in list of chart indicators after it's loaded so it sticks on chart and have to close chart because it can't be removed.

Also I did refresh, close,and reopen the platform after loading indicator.
Anything is Possible!Side with the Probable!

When loading the indicator, make sure the " Allow DLL imports" and "Allow external experts imports" tabs are both ticked.

Without any error message etc I don't really can help you, sorry.

I've tested the timeframe_zoom_per_chart_v1.2j.mq4 version here again - put it on the chart with default settings and I get this (and every button click works).

If you load the indicator with Common tab, DLL box unticked, you can replicate the problem that is mentioned.

This indicator works absolutely fine for me also.

Yes, that's because I only changed some eyecandy things to that indicator. I didn't changed the way the original author has coded it.

But using system dll isn't really needed anymore for such functions the indicator uses so when I have a few minutes I will post an update which doesn't need dll activated anymore.

Suggestion to add to Drawing Toolbox ; Add a shortcut key to toggle "Show trade levels" from Tools>Options>Charts menu. Would be useful when there are multiple trade levels showing on a chart that obscure other objects or text and sometimes you go to move a line or drawing and you grab the trade ticket line changing the SL or TP by mistake. Maybe even set it as a timed hide of trade levels that would show them again automatically if user doesn't toggle "Show trade levels' back on if that is possible to program. H for hide trade levels?
