How to change indicator to allow multiple instances on one chart

Hi

Can anyone suggest a method to change this indicator to allow me to put several of them on a single chart to act as PPZ?

This indicator works quite well as PPZ but I need to put three of them on a single chart on W1, D1 & H4 tf.

Have tried messing with the file-names but it doesn't work when changing the name.

Hope someone can show me a method to do this.

thanks

the problem is the object names

ObjectCreate("Lines" + i,OBJ_HLINE,0,0,R[i]);

i edited to this

ObjectCreate(Symbol()+Timeframe+"Lines" + i,OBJ_HLINE,0,0,R[i]);

now you can use 1 indy per timeframe per symbol

Can you post the indy that displays the price in the upper right of the chart?

Many, Many thanks for your talent.
I have been trying to get this to work for months.

Looks good on D1 down to M5.
The only bug I could find, is that now when I delete the indicator it leaves some lines on the chart.
Its not a problem though.

Shows some nice Price Action around these areas and seems to hold up reasonably well with MN & W1 when moved down to H4.




Greatly appreciated.

Sure, it is only an exe file though.

Thanks...I'm looking for something that does that but shows the value of a moving average or RSI value, etc. as text on the chart and not in the data window. I posted something for this but no responses there. I could easily modify this is if I could see the code...

Thanks

Well, Look no more.


EDIT:
Nope this is in a separate window.

Maybe try and modify the spread indi.
