I have gone thru both threads and still have no clue about what it is all about. This thread has not evolved beyond an indicator.

This version draws parallel lines to the line going through the diagonal of the box. Doesn't clean itself up yet unless you set DeleteAll to true before removing it. This has to be false while you are using it in order to preserve the position of the box where you put it. (Havent managed to fix that yet)

Very nice - thank you. Now I must work to figure out what it 'means'.

Hi MissPips:

Also, if at all possible, please also includes an 'option' to to display lines from an angle from "Top Left to Bottom Right" through the box as well. If this has already been incorporated to the indicator; then please ignore this message. Take care

Have a good one
Jeff

Hello MissPips,

While the news is working, I'm on the sidelines today. Catching up on the forums, and realized there had been some activity on this one while I was away.

I just downloaded your latest Bemac indicator (v1.16). This may be a dumb question, so please excuse me while I ask before investigating further. Why did the lines on your chart run diagonally, left to right, and mine run the opposite? My first guess would be "the trend", but for the timeframe I selected for the box, I'm not sure that is the answer.

I will continue to play with this indicator and try to figure it out, but in the meantime, if you have a quick answer I would appreciate it.

My chart is attached. You can compare to the one you posted a couple of posts earlier.

Thanks,
Ed

Could be you set Reverse lines to true. Also dragging the box so that you invert one corner over the other will achieve this.

Thanks MissPips. I saw your "ReverseLines=True" post, too. That's probably the answer to the other part of my question.

There is a new version of the Bemac's default indie that
- maintains its position when you change tfs (thanks to kd3726)
- has parallel lines
- has a box to highlight the range
- has a default start taken from the ask price when the indie is added.

Compared to the alternate Eights indie the advantages are:
You can set the line properties (thanks to Cobra)
You drag the vertical and horizontal lines to set the range (too many people were having trouble with the box in the Eights version)
You get automatic cleanup on exit

Disadvantages compared to the Eights versions are that the Fib is not a real fib, and you can't reverse it.
You have to wait for 20 secs/price tic to get an update. Clicking on the indicator will not update it.

There is one small bug when you change from lower to higher tf. Sometimes the parallel lines are crooked. Usually update will fix this, but if it doesn't just grab the vertical lines and drag them until they snap to the nearest bar for that tf.

Edit: I removed the files because they were causing Bemac's computer to crash (can't have that!)

set them all ( ie:currently visible ) to 0.0 somewhere in your code.

you can get away with only clearing the screen because you can flag a change between zoom level changes by comparing the candles in the visible area.
ie:CurrentlyVisible, OldVisible.

for Candle=StartDraw > EndDraw
Buffer[Candle]=0.0;

If you put the timer routines in then you won't have to worry about repainting it's a non issue imo. This indi isn't the type that has to run every tick anyway.

Put a loop around all of the code in the start() function.

if (CurrentlyVisible=OldVisible)
{
Return();
}
else
{
// Put all of your start code here
}

Now if you change zoom levels then the indi will check the timer on the next tick. To force the redraw, right click and hit refresh, and the indi will init().
If there's a timer wrapped around all of that ( immediately above ) then you can control the redraw refreshing/repainting.

None of this will work if the code is in init sorry nb: I think it's bad grammer putting all the code in init at least for this type of indi. imho

**Save as a new version number before attempting anything. Friendly reminder.

Thanks for your help! Your previous suggestion worked great on this indicator. (On the other one I still couldn't get it to work because I don't use the start routine with the update in there.) In the Bemac Default version the timer routine is in there, and it works fine. Zoom doesn't seem to bother the lines because I'm not using pixels to calculate. I'm viewing the lines like a parallelogram that always goes through the low price of the range and the high price of the range, and I get the horizontal distance between the lines by calculating the difference in time between the two vertical bars, and then adding it and subtracting it to create the parallelograms. So the coordinates for the lines are price and time, and zoom in and zoom out work fine on those. But when you go from a lower tf to a higher one and the lines don't snap right to the nearest bar there is a problem. If you had one Vline at 1:00 and one Vline at 3:00 on the 5m tf and you switch to the 30 m tf you'll be fine. But if you had one at 1:05 and one at 3:15 then you'll get crooked lines until you adjust the vertical lines to snap to a bar that exists on the 30 chart. I suppose I could fix this by checking the tf and rounding, but (for example) at when you go from 315 on the five min tf to the 30 min tf I don't know which period the user meant to consider. Do you have any ideas?
