The range of what? Daily, last 4 candles, last 8 candles?

I'm sure if you can define the question, we can find an answer!

Cheers.

Hi Erebus
I use the boxes/lines indicator to draw true days i.e. zero NY to zero NY for recent days and weeks, and since we can't hide the boxes I have to make them same color as chart background, but problem is that lines are in front of wicks and hiding them, and sometimes we need to look at these wicks.
Thanks for your reply

Is this setting Tick or No Tick?

Change it and see if it's helps.

This script on tradingview is based on Day,'s quarterly theory.
This theory based on the accumulation, manipulation, disruption that happen during, monthly, weekly, daily and session.
It divided every day into 4 quarters. First is accumulation, second is manipulation, 3rd is disturbtion, 4 is x, the x or Q 4 mut reversal or contuntion dirction.
Time is important because the kill zone happens in specific opening sessions or red folder news.
anyone can create a custom mt4 indicator like this,

Sorry for late reply, only just saw this.

To remove filled box, in inputs eg. FPZ2 etc. remove the F this is the code for a "Filled Box".

Hi erebus, greetings mate. Nice sharing all this time. If I may ask... What indicator is that that shows a single candle print on your chart on the far right of your chart? Say if it's a Daily candle whatever happening on 15m will show that candle being printed and movement as the day goes by. Do you have that indicator to share and if you do..., is there a version for both Mt4 and MT5. Much thanks. Await your revert on this. I would love to have this in both MT4 and MT5 if you have it. Thanks again for hearing me out. Cheerio

Lucky, I shared the Indicator list in the screenshot as I forgot the name of that since I stopped using it, may have to look at it again; it is Day Bar Info

The easy way to get it is installed directly within Metatrader 4, go to Market tab and Search, you should find this:

Failing that, do it the way our ancestors did it, download, copy & paste, restart, hope it's there...

Download the 'Day Bar Info' Technical Indicator for MetaTrader 4 in MetaTrader Market (mql5.com)

MT5 - no idea, I'll have a look, you can too, hint, hint.

Exactly, price does what it wants to do, ADR is a reference point of possible high and low, still have to judge the mood of the market, the time of day, so many variables, good luck.

{quote} Mostly out of curiosity,
With this indicator & Hanovers also, even though you have Open & Close Line settings, it always caculates onthe start candle OC

What I would prefer is range of the closed bodies ie. the highest & lowest value of opens & close of candles in that time range.
Not the Open of the first candle and close of the second candle but the closed bodies of the 2 candles or any number of candles in time range
selected.

Use option "Y" The rectangle uses the max(open,close) and min(open,close) of the bars surrounded by the rectangle.

Inserted Code
    for (int j=bar1; j>bar2; j--)  {
      if (StringFind(prop,"Y",0) >= 0)  {
        hi = MathMax(hi,MathMax(iOpen(NULL,tscale,j),iClose(NULL,tscale,j)));
        lo = MathMin(lo,MathMin(iOpen(NULL,tscale,j),iClose(NULL,tscale,j)));
      } else {
        hi = MathMax(hi,iHigh(NULL,tscale,j));
        lo = MathMin(lo,iLow(NULL,tscale,j));
      }

I don't recall if Hanover ever provided documentation about the many options for the "Properties" Input variable. (default "FTZ2").
I suggest to look for it. If you find it, post it here. Then explore any other options you might be interested in. The only other way to know is to glance through the code and try to follow what each does.

If you look in the code, search for (with the ONE literal double-quote) : StringFind(prop,"
All of his options seem to include those characters as each of the options is parsed.

Two lines I am not personally a fan of would be:
Inserted Code
    hi += ClearancePips * pnt;  
    lo -= ClearancePips * pnt;

Whatever are the values of the hi and lo it will use for the PlotBox(...) function (i.e. the rectangle), he pads one extra pnt (usually 0.1p now) to both. I don't happen to like the arbitrary padding, and therefore you'll see a 0.1p gap where the rectangle is always larger. It's hard to spot when the rectangle surrounds max High & min Low, but to me it's a lot more obvious there are +/- 0.1 gaps when it surrounds, using option "Y", the max(open,close) and min(open,close).

Rather, I would prefer to ONLY change the hi and or lo when they are EQUAL, because you can't have a rectangle of zero height. Something like:
Inserted Code
   if( hi == lo) hi += ClearancePips * pnt;

The edits to source are left up to you.

Of course, it's there already. Must read everything carefully, missed it totally.
