I know its been a while since anyone commented on this post but was wondering if anyone is here that uses this indicator? I tried adding it to my MT4 indicators folder but since it is a .mq4 extension it does not work. All the other indicators in the folder has an extension of .ex4. I am running the most recent MT4 Build 1090.

Would appreciate any help ..

Thanks
Robin

I have downloaded the 5 Days nmc ex4 file and am intrigued to understand how you have attached the day labels in a verticle orientation.
I need to learn how to do this for my own code. Please can you share.

I restiled a bit the original one.
Day names now appear on the bottom of each day column.
I added an optio to refresh the names on chart events like windows resizing and also added the possibility to hide todays day name.

Can someone edit this indicator for me? It shows the days of the week, but the last line (current day separator) keeps disappearing when i change timeframes. Can someone fix that for me please?

Can you please update the indicator to hide the object in the list all section of the objects list? Its a bit annoying to have to see all those unnecessary text objects in the list when it should be hidden in the list all section.

OK but I really don't see the issue with the objects appearing in the object list? Please enlighten me

I use a lot of trendlines and rectangles to mark zones on my chart, so when I go to access the objects list I'm bombarded with hundreds of "text objects" from the indicator because I have it set to show 100 days. So when I want to quickly modify the important object that I have on chart or quickly rename them, I have to keep pressing the object filter in the top left corner to show the most recent objects. You editing the indicator has made accessing the important objects that much simpler, which I appreciate! YOUR A LEGEND IN MY EYES SIR, THANK YOU!!!

Sorry to bother you again but for some reason when I switch to the M1 chart it removes the indicator from chart. Not sure why. I tried different terminals and same thing. The previous versions of the indicator did not do this. Is it possible you could fix this issue please?

Always check the Experts/Journal tabs at the bottom of the platform as generally that gives a good indication of the issue. In this case it was an array out of range problem ( a common problem on older indicators ) . I did not code the original indicator I only updated in 2016 so I have had another look at it and updated the code to the latest MT4 build.
The vertical lines now have the option of showing the time label at the bottom of the chart.

Removed indicator as array issue still exists if very a large number of days are used in the inputs.

It got even worse. It removed not only the indicator but also the labels. Before it only removed the indicator but not the day of the week labels (text).

It got even worse.
Actually it got better as it showed that the delete code was now working correctly.

After testing large day numbers like 1000 / 5000 on M1 I found that the Array issue appeared so I presume that you are using those sorts of numbers.
After spending a lot of time trying to fix the existing code I have found it too far out of line with the latest MT4 builds to find an easy fix so it looks like the best option will be to code a new indicator.
