Hi

I searched the forum but couldnt find the indicator.

Is there a horizontal line indicator which can draw different colored lines for different TF.So that I need not change the color for each time frame.

Say: H4 - red color-- Whenever I place H Line it should turn into red,
H1- Blue Color-- Whenever I place H Line it should turn into blue.

Thanks

Can you explain in more detail what you are trying to do? I am presuming that you want to open a H4 chart and draw a H/line and it will automatically color the line Red then you swap to the H1 timeframe to draw the line again and it will turn Blue so each time you load the H/line indicator it will change colors depending on the TF.

Hi cja,
yes,you are right.

My entry TF is m5 so that I can know HTF S/R lines using different colors.

Try this it is a script, you can go into the code to alter the different timeframe colors line style and width. To use it you just drag it out of the Navigator script window with your mouse and drop it on the chart in the position required, if it needs to be moved just double click it and move it.

Cja, thanks for the script.

I loaded the script but having some problem.

when i dragged and dropped the script in Daily TF , a pink color Horizontal line came in the chart . I was able to add only one Horizontal line, when i dragged the script second time , the first line goes off. Then I moved to h4 and dragged the script it added a line in yellow color, but the pink color line from Daily goes off .


Am I making any mistake?

Thanks for the indicator, can u add 2 more lines to this, to make a three line parallel channel with user select input for distance between the lines so that when i drag the center line the other two lines move along, Don't need the different color for diff time frame
Thanks

I created a little widget; click the box to quickly change horizontal line colours.

I was contacted by logesharun because of issues with the lines not working when the markets are closed so I have fixed it by changing what is effectively the magic number from TimeCurrent() to TimeLocal() and I have also posted a script to remove the horizontal lines on the chart.

Hi cja,
This one works very well. But would you please add another option about the TF. If the line drop in a TF, it'll only appear in that TF and the lower TF. Example, if I drop it in H4, the line will show in H4-M1 TF only. So far I do it manually by custom each line but it's a bit tiring.

Thanks.

Hello cja,
Thank you so much for sharing this script. I found your HiLine Drag & Drop MTF Colors v1.1 very useful.

Is it possible to have the horizontal lines drop to the high of the selected candle?
If this is possible, then I can make another copy on MT4 and edit the script so horizontal lines can be drop to the low of the selected candle as well.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.
