I am currently using the q-Opn Line indicator to draw horizontal lines on a Renko chart representing the standard time based open of the Daily candle, 4Hr Candle and the 1hr Candle. I am using 3 instances of this indicator to achieve this.

Would it be possible to create 1 indicator to achieve this, and would it be possible to change the line color for each line, every other aspect of this indicator is perfect.

Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated and would result in many hugs and kisses (on the cheek).

Hola Dee,

First of all let me tell you: I am an admirer of your trading style. Looks clean and simple, and seems very profitable!

I do not look into these forums very much these days, but I am shocked nobody has replied to your help request. My MQL4 programming skills are very limited, but I think I´ve managed to do what you ask for. Check it out and let me know.

H1 is Blue, (4 lines) H4 is green (4 lines, can be changed if required), Daily is horizontal red line, (only one)

I cant wait for the hugs and kisses...

update auto line color
modify the M-Candles.mq4 indicator to include automatic line color based on whether the close price is below (Red) or above (Blue) the open price, while retaining the existing color and style options. The user-specified LineColor will be used as a fallback if needed, and the auto-color feature will override it based on the price condition.
The modifications include:

  1. Added logic to determine line color dynamically: color currentColor = LineColor; if (pc < po) currentColor = clrRed; else if (pc > po) currentColor = clrBlue;.
  2. Used currentColor in ObjectSet(objName, OBJPROP_COLOR, currentColor); to apply the dynamic color based on whether the close price (pc) is below (Red) or above (Blue) the open price (po).
  3. Retained the LineColor parameter as a fallback, though it will typically be overridden by the auto-color logic unless open and close prices are equal.
  4. Kept the LineStyle parameter and all previous functionality unchanged.
  5. Used the same artifact_id since this is an update to the previous modification.

Users can now see lines automatically colored Red when the close price is below the open price and Blue when the close price is above the open price, with the LineColor parameter serving as a fallback. The line style remains adjustable via the LineStyle parameter.
