Period Seperator Indi help

Hi chaps, I am looking for an indicator that will help with backtesting and trading.

Wish list: Vertical line period indicator that I can change from 7am open or 8am open. I have one at the moment but it does not put the vertical line in the historical open periods, my exsting indi only does current day.

It would also be ultra cool if there was an indi that put in two vertical lines for example 7am open and 8am open also historical for backtesting you undersand.

Many Thanks in adavance

This indy will do it (and also many other things).

Set StartHours to 7 or 8, and Properties to V

If you want a dotted line, set Properties to V..
If you want a dashed line, set Properties to V--
etc

To get two lines, at 7am and 8am, set StartHours to 7, ExtendHours to 8, and Properties to VV

Set LookbackDays to the number of days you want it to plot lines for (i.e. historically, working backward from today).

Set DaysOfWeek to the days that you want the lines plotted (e.g. MonTueWedThuFri for all weekdays, or MonTue for Mondays and Tuesdays only).

If you need more lines at different times, you can attach multiple instances of the indy to your chart. Just be sure to give each one a different UniqueID value.

For more info, see the post in the link.

Could you upload the indicator you have?
Stop asking ChatGPT for broken MQL code. VisualMQL it instead.
