( THIS WILL MAKE a quick glance on different pairs setup alot easier and faster) !
Hi, Could you help me how to create a traditional drop-down menu for the chart in my indicator? (I want to put in 5-6 items and I don't want to see it on the chart all the time. A little arrow and it would open, I would pick an item, it would close.) I would symbolize his closed state with an image. Is what I want possible? {image} Fx_Jacem

{quote} nice indicator for pips mate... can you put time_remaining code in this indicator or seperator indicator. time-remaining code taken from FX_SCANNER.. I hope you got my point what I am saying.. means just time-remaining indicator that can be placed on any chart and not like whole fx_scanner that make the whole screen black and nothing visible. if we just want to see time-remaining for all different timeframe, we can just put the small indicator and our job is done... may be you can give it a tryyy..
{quote} Here, you have it. You can put other indicator together by changing Yposition. {image} {file}
{quote} What does it mean by Add up_down and Right-Left position options? it has already corner option where you can specify 0 to 3 and it will moved to own corner. Regarding multiple time, I added uniqueID option. You will need to enter/edit different ID for new instance. Otherwise, it will overwrite previous one. {file}
