A Way to Make the Same Object (i.e. Horizontal Line) to Appear on Multiple Windows?

Hi there,

I've been looking for a way to make a Horizontal Line that I place on one window (for the same pair in the same profile) appear in all the other windows, which should make the S/R levels easier to read accross the differrent TFs at a glance.

It appears suprisingly difficult to find anything that could make it happen.
Unless I'm wrong (though I'm not a Programmer, I hasten to add)
one would think that it's not such a sophisticated function.

Any ideas guys? Help would be greatly appreciated.

can u post charts to illustrate what u want to achieve?

i'm not sure what u mean but can this help?

simple solution is to use a template:
place all the lines u want on 1 chart. then save as a template. then apply that template to another chart with a similar currency pair.
This template can be a temporary one, so u can delete it anytime.

alternatively, hanover, Oksana17, magnumfreak, Ronald Raygun, Zen_Leow are excellent programmers who could help.

Sorry to burst your bubbles. I'm afraid that's not possible as objects drawn are tagged to the particular chart that you draw on. The only control you have is to selectively choose which timeframe this object can be seen when you change the timeframe of THAT chart. Allowing the same object to be seen on multiple window is a feature MT4 cannot provide.

Couldn't you set the coordinates as Global Variables and then have the indicator on each chart, looking up the Global to find the Horizontal line coordinates, as long as the different charts are all the same pair?

The easiest solution I can think of is to use the "FileWrite" function. As long as it's the same metatrader terminal, there shouldn't be a huge problem getting master charts and slave charts interacting with each other.

As I see it, just write the object parameters for every object on the master chart to .CSV, and then have the slave charts use the .CSV data to completely wipe their chart of objects, and then add in the other objects the Master Chart wrote to the CSV file.

Now, that's all based on my crude understanding of the filewrite function, if any of the more advanced programmers could explain it to me, then I'll try to whip something together.

That's a good idea. and I guess would be the best workaround available. However,that also means every chart opened must have the said indicator loaded.

I was merely stating its not possible to have one indicator draw objects across other charts.
