Line chart with dots on close

Hello friends, I just would like to ask if there's a way for the Metatrader to show the line chart with dots on every close, say every 1hour close. Because I find it useful also to switch/toggle between candles and line chart and would really be useful if I see where it closed. I've made a sample below.

Thanks and Merry Christmas!!!

You should tell us what time frame your using in your picture and what are the dots? We need more information that what you have given us.

Hi WHTenn, thanks for replying.

It's a 1H chart... I just made up those dots over the line chart using mspaint to illustrate it. These dots represent the location where a particular 1-hour have closed.

I toggle between candlestick chart and line chart. We can clearly see where a candlestick had closed but when using line chart I have no way of determining where it closed.

I hope I was able to explain it clearly.

Thanks again WHTenn

Best regards

Hello monzulu,

This should be fine:

File Type: mq4 Line Chart Closes.mq4   < 1 KB | 2,438 downloads


The following line controls the character used for the close indication which you may have to alter to fit your preference:

SetIndexArrow(0,108);

To change the character, while in MetaEditor (Press F4 while MetaTrader is active to open MetaEditor) do a serach for 'Wingdings' in the Navigator/Search (Press CTRL+D while MetaEditor is active to open the 'Navigator', then click the 'Search' tab located at the bottom right of the 'Navigator' window). Then double click 'Wingdings' from the search results. This should display a table of available characters and their corresponding code. Just replace the value accordingly, until you find something visually pleasing.

You may also what to change the color by altering this line to fit your needs as well, so you don't have to set it manually whenever the indicator is placed on a chart:

#property indicator_color1 Lime

Let me know how it works,
lucidlamp

ps: Merry Christmas
