Hello Jagg It would be great if you could add this option to draw rectangles by clicking on specific areas It is really the most complete indicator of drawing areas, but the areas where the bitmap is drawn need to specify the range. {image}
I'm working on another drawing tool which does more or less what you show on your picture.

Here is a first 'draft' you can play with.
In general - the tool can draw...

Horizontal lines/regions (full chart width) (by pressing the SPACE key)
Horizontal lines/regions (not full chart width but starting where your mouse cursor is) (by pressing the A key)
Arrows / Arrow Heads (by pressing the P key)

You can set your favorite colors and predefined words - by clicking AltGr key one time - then a 2nd time - you can change colors, line style, word/text by clicking on the objects. Pressing AltGr a 3rd time disables the 'fast switching mode' again.

D key - copies over all your drawings from the tool to all open charts from the same symbol
+ a few other useful keyboard shortcuts - see help screen
(key shortcuts are configurable)

Click on the picture to see a animation which shows the indicator in action.

Hi Jagg, I keep playing with this handy indicator.

Just have couple of ideas to improve it:

  1. Is it possible to indent the trendlines on the rectangle just a tiny bit which would help select the inner rectangle with ease? (as shown in the image) Indent px and the option from right or left might be set from the inputs.
  2. Can you add an option to delete objects by selection? A combination of hotkey and mouse selection would be great. (eg: CTRL+selection)
  3. Can you add an input to make trendlines ray or non-ray or better, enable objects extendable from the inputs?
  4. Can you add an R:R measurement tool similar to your rectangle tool? Like 1st click entry level, 2nd click SL level, and finally 3rd click TP level. And R:R ratio is shown on the entry line.

Thanks again

That's 'the crux' when publishing an internally used tool/indicator here - the feature requests came for sure

'indent' the trendlines on one side isn't an option - this looks ugly
I've added a new shortcut for you (Q) - simply press Q key and all rectangles gets selected (Q again to deselect all)

CTRL is always a bad choice because of the built in MT4 function to duplicate an object when you hold CTRL and click or better drag an object.
So I've added a new shortcut for you (E) - simply press E to set 'Erase Mode' to ON (E again - or delete the last object - to set it to OFF).
When Erase Mode is ON every click on a drawn object of the indicator and it gets deleted.

Not really tested but check the new option (valid for the renctangle drawing part [A key] - full width regions always go the right edge of the chart)

Made also setting the keyboard shortcuts easier (you get a dropdown menu now where you can select the keys you want).

Hi Jagg

it's getting great,
Just have couple of ideas to improve it: Of course if possible

1- Can you add an option to areas that change color after first touch ?
2- and if possible add straight line option with label like previous drawing tools
3- Can you add an R:R measurement tool similar to your rectangle tool? Like 1st click entry level, 2nd click SL level, and finally 3rd click TP level. And R:R ratio is shown on the entry line. Like tradinhview

totally previous Drawing tools was thorough, just that need some new options you want to add in this new tools

thank you for your big heart

Exactly that the tool is doing already ?

1) SPACE (full width) or A and you click (1st time) to get the 1st 'drawing helpline'
2) then you have two optioins
a) you move your mouse down and click 2nd time - you get a rectangle
b) you don't move your mouse down but simply click a 2nd time at the same price region where you did the first click - now you get a trendline (and no rectangle)

And when you set your text label options how you like it - you get your 'straight line with label'.

Really? Shouldn't and techn. can not be the case... so all your drawings are gone after a mt4 restart? Then something else is causing this. You tested with a blank chart and only jDD_Drawingtool indicator in it?

Dear Jagg

This is very useful option
if possible add this option with shortcut so that the user can change the label by clicking + Shortcut

Thanks in advance

ENTER or SPACE are used by MT4 so you get the quick navigation (bottom left) to enter/change the symbol/period.
So if you use jDD_Drawingtool and want to use the MT4 built in quick navigation make sure you do not use ENTER or SPACE as any hotkey.

Default setting is for example SPACE for [1] DRAW HORIZ.LINE / BIG REGION - so change that to SHIFT or something else and it should work

Thank you Jagg for the great tool! Your tool meet my needs to draw rectangle with different colors and to draw fibo extensions. I want to draw fibo extension on current/used timeframe only, but it still shows the fibo level on used and lower timeframe even though I have set it to show only on used timeframe. Is there any bug? Can you please help to fix this bug?
